ATE is available online. So are the EBC pads, brake lines, etc.

yeah I was going to get the pads online. I guess I will get the ate blue while im at it. How much of it will I need? also will the lines be ok? seems like it is a lot of extra work to replace them.

yeah get ate blue online, don't worry it's not that hard. Print out the instruction and follow it. Also remember to get a piston press or use a screw driver to turn the piston to install the pads. You will also need an impact screw driver, to take out the screw that's holding the rotor in place. You can turn it by hand but you risk threading it and that would make it worse.

You just need 1 can of ATE (1 liter). You'll use about 3/4 of it. I used the rest to fill up my R6. It was enough for front and back

The impact screw driver works with a hammer, its not an air tool. They go for around $12.

ok, after some research it looks like I should get some semi metallic brake pads. They seem cheaper so thats good. was looking at these.

read this article i found on this site.

seems good for autox and for the track if I end up doing some track events.
