i would just like to thank everyone for the assistance with the pad install and the bleeding of the brakes. I can't express how much i appreciate everything. The plus's are doing well so far, need to heat them up a little to get them going well.
i learned a great deal about what tools i need and what exactly i need to do next time.

dude Keith, where did you dissappear to?
You were there when I crawled under the car, and when I came back out, you were gone. WTF man? I needed a monkey to hand me tools and you were nowhere to be found :wink:
ScottyB Wrote:nice turnout, we got alot done. i learned how to change brake pads today, it was pretty sweet. it's super easy too, which was a great surprise. i swapped out my stock front pads for HP+'s.....after bedding them in here are my thoughts:
pro:
-stops decent cold, even better hot
-they love heat...i used to fear being able to smell my brakes, now its just a sign that the fun is getting started
-pedal feel is basically retained
cons:
-loud
-as
-hell
seriously, when i'm using my brakes at ANY speed below 15mph i might as well just lay on my horn, thats how loud they squeel. small forest mammals run for cover, children laugh and point, and old people cry. i went to McD's and it got to the point where i just started using my e-brake to stop me in the stop and go traffic in the line at the drive through so i didn't have to hear the noise. meanwhile, jay has the HP+'s on every corner of his car and it's near silent. :evil:
welcome to the world of shitty pads. did you bother to waste anti squeel juice on them?
-c
nah, no anti-squeel for this kid. i mean i really like how they stop, especially when there's some heat in them. but man they squeel like crazy when im going slow!

it was much better having several of us working today. Usually its just me and people look at me like I'm from another planet for being under a car.
