    How did it come out???? All fine??? What's needed?? The rear hub assembly, plate backing for the caliper to bolt on to, the rotors and calipers (obviously). Anything else??


    Car is sold, no more G.... Moved on to something a big more sporty.... lol

    After it was assembled, we went to a brake specialist and "check" our work for any problems. It turned out we did fine. Rez provided himself some good rotors from the junkyard so make sure you get the good stuff.

    same story. Keep in mind you will want to use your hubs as you know what your car has been through, opposed to where the brake set up has come from. And what problems they might have.

    its probably a good idea to get new rotors too. there pretty cheap nowadays

    2011 Camry- 202 miles- just picked up 9/10/10
    2008 Pontiac G6- 26,065 miles- traded in
    1999 Galant ES- 91,846 miles- long gone
