Tis the season for Brakes
There seems to be lots of recent postings on brakes, which was perfect as my GTS needed brakes as well. I ended up getting the Hawk HPS 5.0 pads and Ate rotors. I also replaced all the mounting hardware as recommended.
It took me two days and numerous trips to the store. ECS Tuning let me down as my package was shipped less one pad sensor so I went to Autozone to get one. I had to make a second trip to AZ when I broke the new pad sensor during the install. Later I had to go out again and get a extra long breaker bar and PB Blaster for the stuck left side caliper bolts. Finally, I had to go back to AZ to get another liter of brake fluid as the Schwaben pressure bleeder from ECS would not seal tight and I lost lots on my garage floor.
But now that its done, it sure is pretty!
