well boys and girls... found out i currently have no rear brakes... the rotors and pads need replacing. i should have everything tool wise i need and well i know how to do it. my question for you all is... do you have any reccommendations on brands?? or where to pick up the parts... i'll be home most of the day looking at prices on line... let me know. i'll let everyone know when i'm going to do it because an extra set of hands is always welcome. and well the truth is i got all this beer and since my wife is preggo... no one to help me drink it. (open invite to my house for anyone to come over anytime.)
pm me or call... 8598161443

Brembo!
Yeah, right...
Bosche is also good, and at a good price. Advance Auto, Autozone, and Bumper to Bumper all have them.

If you have the $$, go for ceramic. Napa has great quality pads (both thier brand and the brands they carry). Brakes is one area you don't want to go cheap on! For thoes who have never done rear disk brakes, you need a special tool to re-set the pistion; you can't just push it in w/ a c-clamp. it has to be rotated in. the tool looks like a cube w/ bumps and holes all over it; cost $10 at advanced.

the brake job went off with out a hitch. in fact i feel retarded for asking for help because it was amazingly easy. i didn't even need the special tool or anything. all i had to do was find a way to make my jack tall enough to lift my jeep, so i used the concrete drain thing from the gutters. so if anyone needs help or that little special tool... let me know.
