I can help with the brakes and rotors, done plently.

Did you pick up stainless lines, too. Plus have new brake fluid. I have all the tools for brakes and brake lines.

cool no i didn't pick up stainless lines; i heard they req'd more maintenance and were only necessary if you track your car a lot? also, i was going to bring my car to pinyo for a brake/clutch fluid flush...is this something we'd be able to do? i can pick up everything tonight or tomorrow if so!

as far as pads go...i was kinda thinking the same thing (patinum mentioned something about machining old rotors to use w/new pads). o'hare doesn't even have them in stock though. i'll call the one in lisle and chicago to see what they have.

Sounds great, you're on the list. Chairs! Good lookin' out Ryan, I hadn't even thought of that. I can provide 8, who else can bring something to sit on?

Any grill materials would be great to have along too, Luder94 said he'd bring burgers so brats, buns, condiments are up for grabs...beer, soda, whatever you want.

Thanks!
sweet, i will bring some of those items then! will figure out what tomorrow.

I have two preasure bleeders so we are set. Bring plenty a full container of brake fluid.
I have two containers of new Motul.
Just show up with the supplies and we can take care of the rest. Too bad you didn't order speed bleeders, no problem though.

How does $51.80 (fronts) and $58.30 (rears) sound for OEM brake pads? Anyone got a better deal?
