Recently installed Brakemotive brakes on all four wheels and I must say they look awesome and so far performing well.
But to surprise you guys who have been telling me to do it some work on my car myself, I finally got my hands dirty at least partially.
Had a friend who happens to work on cars help me out and to be honest the job was not too bad. Took us about two hours but I really enjoyed the experience. Only thing I paid my friend with was after the job was done we went out to eat and I took care of the bill. $40 for the both of us including tip.
I went to his house as he had the tools as I do not.
The only pain in the ass was the rear brakes as I had to go to the auto parts store and rent for a special tool for the rear piston as a c clamp would not spin with the rear piston.
In the end it was a great experience to finally getting my hands dirty and I learned a few things.
I finished the brake in procedure and so far they brake fine.
Only issue I am having is my passenger side front wheel squeals periodically in reverse even if the brake is not applied. This does not happen when driving forward.
We greased up everything and replaced it with new mounting hardware that came with the pads, I am hoping it fades away as the brakes break in even more but if they don't what do you think is causing the squealing in reverse?
Besides that issue the brakes are performing very well and they look great. Here is a picture of what it currently looks like.
