Does anyone know how to install rotors and pads? I need to replace them on my 2002 WRX and I'm looking to save some $$ on installation. Send me a PM if you can help.

Not someone I want to try on my own... maybe after watching someone do it.

Pads = super easy
Rotors = more work, but still straightforwardYou see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

I'd much rather change everything on a car with all disk brakes rather than messing with the drum brakes. Changing brakes sounds like it'd be a difficult task, but it's actually pretty easy. The only bad part with the rotors is if they're rusted in there at all, but that's nothing that a BFH can't fix.
Also, I have the entire WRX service manual on CD ROM, but it's at my house. I could try to email it to you later if it's not too large or I could just mail it to you since I sold my WRX a couple of years ago and have no use for it anymore.I think that the human mind is unique among all other forms of life in that it can spontaneously create unique thoughts and provide unique behaviors. Instead of rewarding that uniqueness we, for some reason probably because of cultural and social necessity, we chastise unique behavior and reward conformity.

Funken, PM me if you want a hand. I've got a garage and all the tools. I've done the brakes on a bunch of subies. Super easy. Good ol beer drinking work.
I'm south of town.
