+1 for Sunset. Just ordered a set of Textars for the fronts ($133.52) for my C4S and a few other maintenance parts. Hopefully I'll get it by the end of the week.

How much does an Indie normally charge to change front pads on a C4S? I will be supplying the parts. Any idea?

Sunset is great, and I have ordered plenty of stuff from them, but don't forget that Viper Bob is also a Rennlist sponser. His prices are competitive, and as he's in Tampa, your shipping charges may end up being lower.

You're right. Completely forgot about our very own VB! Will definitely check with him first next time.

Terry,

Don't think I'll be re-installing sensors anyway. Thanks for the offer of lending your jack stands but I need to pick up some anyway. Any other parts you can think of that I may need to order?

thanks again,

JC,

The list I provided was all it took for me...I followed the p-car.com DIY and the parts came right out of the box and went on the car with no problems.....I actually thought, "Damn! This is too easy!"

Oh, you'll need two quarts of Ate Super Blue Racing brake fluid to fully bleed your system.

Hope it goes well for you.

Thanks everyone! I'll check with Viper Bob too - my suspension came from him and I have no complaints...

Hello again -

Is this the Sunset Porsche dealer that everyone is referring to?
http://sunset.porschedealer.com/

I've tried to reach Viper Bob to see if I can buy these parts from him but I'm getting no response... Are you out there VB?

thanks,

JC
