I was going to do mine on my AT about a year back and it was a b!tch. You need power tools to do the job right.

i see her point, i settle for purses from target or ross..only cuz i dont see myself spending more than 100$ on a purse cuz i throw it all over the place..lol..Although, hell if i could afford it i would..maybe id rather spend the $$ on goodies for the 8

Well I'm not very quick these days and getting up and down is a pain but I have a garage with all the tools including air. If your changing the rotors or leaving them untouched it should be easy and quick. I will be gone for this weekend but maybe next weekend before the meet we can do something.

If your brakes are that bad. You should have your "Rotors turned" and get new pads.
Talk to Mike. He might do the work for ya for a price

i dont know what turning your rotors is...but in auto we usually resurface peoples rotors with a mechanical lathe type thing. If you live near coronado highschool im sure within the next few days they can resurface them for u for free...maybe...i dono tho
