88 IFS front brakes

[Bigdave196]

Easy or a pain? Any tricks of the trade tp use or just have a B.F.H. on standby? Im grinding the R/F rotor (metal to metal) and just figure that I might as well do them both.

Also im turning 33X12.5's so is there a better brand that last longer and/or stop better for the pads and rotors?

Thanks in advance.

Easy enough. If you have a 4 cyl engine, you can upgrade to to V6 calipers for better stopping power. Just tell the parts store you have an 89+ V6, then take back the 4 cyl calipers for the core charge, they won't know the dif.

It's a direct bolt-on, but depending on your rims, there may be some interference with the fins on the calipers. If so you can grind them down a little.

Update.
Ok Autozone at first made me happy then pissed me off. I bought 2 Rotors and a set of Pads for just over $100. That made my day, best quality they had to offer and barely broke a bill. Then thats when I found out that I had a frozen Caliper. There went another $40.

Now to talk about how they pissed me off; only 1 store in SLC had my caliper, and I live in Provo (the reason my pads met metal to metal), and they gave me the wrong PADS. I mean common people all you do is input the year, make model, engine, and 4X4 information and get the part that the system tells you to. We as a consumer cant tell if thats the exact part by looking at a part number. I got home from SLC at 11:30 pm and couldnt finish the brake job because you gave me the wrong brake pads. :(

Now all I have to do is put the hubs back on ( i was told that if you do this wrong you wont get power to your tires) and bleed the brakes.
