I know about all the respectable ones. You know what they say, knowledge is POWER!~Someone from this forum gave me their number when I was doing research to get my thrust arm bushings replaced. I talked to the owner of the shop, Chad I think, and he sounded cool and very knowledgeable. I decided to DIY it (as you know) because it made sense to do the whole arm. And it did not really require special tools or coding.
I am really disappointed with George though. He came highly recommended from a very good friend of mine.

Sup Mel!
I've actually gone to a afew Gerry's meets. I guess we just keep missing each other.
Let's see if we can coordinate it better for next time. It would be awesome to see you and those LMs again soon.

Sup fellas!
With help from my awesome forum buddy John, we were able to swap out the rotors and pads this past weekend. I went with just the cross-drilled ones because it resembles the M5 brake rotors better than the cross-drilled with slots. The fronts were replaced with Hawk HPS pads and they bite very nicely after being bedded.

Look great! I have a set of cross-drilled rotors waiting to be installed. I also plan to get the Hawk pads. How hard is the DIY?
