  • New Brakes and Rotors

    I'll be replacing the front brakes and rotors at some point this week on my 97 Aspire, and I was wondering, what are some things I should know before tackling this? Tools or other odd things that I should need. Also I've heard that new rotors need "broken in." What can I do to do this the correct way? Any and all input is appreciated! Thanks!

      Dan, (iirc), you'll want a heavy hammer (not a framing hammer), 12 and 14mm wrenches, 2 small prybars, and THE HARDWARE KIT.

      you can always stop by and pick my brain.

        Oh how I wish, I mean my job allows me to work my schedule around whatever I want, but idk, I'm positive my Aspire could make it, but that's a wicked long drive. Now I've seen this Ohio mini meet on the page? If anyone could inform me of that, I'm a little interested in that!

            uhhhh man, it would be so last minute for me, I mean, it's terrible to say, but maybe next year lol. I'd really like to meet a lot more of you guys and chill out a bit. Roughly how much does it cost to go to FM? I'm talking to pay for everything, even a night or two in a hotel?
