Ok, Should be there around 2:30
I just got off the phone with the Rx8club rep over at tirerack.com
My hawk ceramic HPS should be in on friday for 105 (75 for the front set and the rest for overnight shipping) Wish I would have gotten an answer sooner from Hiley, cuse that could have saved me a few more bucks on shipping
I should be going into the dealer sometime tom morning to get the two new front kumo's on for 117 a pop plus 15 install for each tire.
So hopefully we can do my pads On sunday and I can be free from sqeeky breaks.

Just a list of stuff I need to bring besides the PADS (i know we talked about rotors but the lady it was pads even though I swear the paperwork says rotors)
Anyway, angie said something about c-clamp? And I think you mentioned something about brake grease as well, just wanted to know what it is exactly I need and if there is anything else I need to pick up?

Riley, if you're doing all 4, you'll need a C clamp for one set and a brake caliper tool for the other. You can "rent" one from AutoZone. Just give them a deposit on it and bring it back within 90 days and you get your money back.

So far from what I remember we have these things to do Sunday:
Travis- Springs
Thomas (taker of lamb virginity)- haha- Has brake pads needing to be installed.
Scott- Brake lines and clutch lines?
Nick: plugs, wires, and RP supercat
What else?

I am only going to do the front pads, which tool do I need for the front? Is the C clamp a special tool or just one of those things you use to hold wood in place while you cut it?

I have a C clamp, give me a call if you forget to run by Auto Zone and I'll bring it by. Or you can stop by and get it on your way to the install party...either way.

Just to make sure there isn't confusion on this point. While AutoZone does carry C clamps, they are not available for "rent". It's the special service tool that they have for rent.

So I would like to get my Rotary Rasp footwells installed with a switch in those open switch slots but I'm not really sure what I need to bring Sunday to make that happen. I can run to the store and get a switch for it, but I dont know how or what kind of wiring to use and how to even run it to make that work. Anybody think they can help me out??
