Nice. I didn't go that far, just put new rotors and pads on the front. Everything seems to be working good now (with the brakes anyway). But if I ever need to do a full overhaul of the brake system I will be referring back to this.

I completed the brake job this evening. Hmm looks like it will be a few more days before I can test all the work I did. Freaking rain and snow mix over the weekend and Friday. Hmm I am going into DTs and have the shakes from not driving my toy all winter. Now that it is road ready again the DTs are really going to kick in again. Darn there is always nex week to drive in with the Top down and fun in the sun ;o)

I actually replaced the rotors and pads on my 94. The caliper on the pass side was frozen solid, so it got a replacement caliper off the garage shelf. Good times. The weather certainly isn't cooperating though.
