Default Install help wanted

hey guys, i just ordered the Hawk ceramic brake pads from HTguy along with powerslot rotors. ive never changed pads on an S2000 before and was wondering if anyone would be willing to help..almost anyday is ok with me. are there any special tools i might need to do it?

Also i have the swift sways coming in and was wondering if anyone has done that install too and would help out. I WILL help out..im not one to sit around and ask for help and make you do all the work. i enjoy working on cars..just dont wanna mess up anything since ive never done these things on an s2k before. Mini mod day anyone? lol

Ha...boogers....you beat me to it

Anyway, I could possibly help out with the brakes. Depends on when you want to do it, and what my schedule is. With 2 of us we should be able to bust out the install pretty quick. As for the sway, I haven't installed one before, but I wouldn't think it's too hard to do.

i could help with pads/rotors on friday if you need. i've done pads on the MDX, CL, and LS400 and rotors on the MDX. shouldn't be too different.

i think the coilovers are a lot more striaghtforward than the pads (jack up, remove bolts, put in coilover, preload/replace bolts..

i've done my springs and the only difficult part was going to advance auto and getting the spring compressor.

Sorry but if you think installing coilovers are easier than installing brake pads then you must be nuts.
