    Anyone change the brakes on an e36? I just got the pads, sensors, and rotors should be here by Friday. I was going to do this myself Sunday morning, unless maybe someone could give me a hand.

      I'm not going to argue this point.

      ( at this point, I'm doing the rain dance in hopes that we can move to Apr 4 )

      okay, not really. Gosh this sucks.

          Cool. I figured its very simple, I've just never done brakes before.

          How do you like the cams?

            very fun, more power than I expected. Waiting for my shocks to get here so I can keep the rear from rubbing the fenders.

                  I already have it. It's sitting in my driveway. All it needs is new brakes, which I have - just waiting on the rotors to get here. Everything else is good to go on it, for now.

                          No, I did not. I will order those today. Thanks for reminding me.

                            I'm on a hill guys, I dont have a place like Greg's with a huge place and garage full of tools. I do have a spray booth or section to work projects that can be off the car.

                            Another word, you wont be changing subframe or anything like that.

                                technically? no, but if must we can head to my friends garage down the road. But I really dont feel comfortable doing that considering I have to be at two places at once, since its not my garage.

                                I guess the hardcore diyer would hvae to either regroup at jeffs or something. Like I want to replace my exhaust thsi weekend, but likely will do it before the meet or after and not during.
