Hopefully I can get my brake kit installed tomorrow *Crosses fingers,* I really don't want to wait until Friday.....

P.S. When I was calling shops around for estimates on installation of the kit (Don't feel like stressing out Moog with the install) the first shop I went to quoted me $550 for install!!! The second shop quoted me around $150-$200, so I was pretty content with that. But then I decided to call this one last shop (redline in arlington) and they quoted me $75 for EVERYTHING (Rotors/Pads/Brake Lines/Fluid)!!! Not just that but they said it would only take like an hour or two to finish, while all the other guys quoted me 4-5 hours. Does this sound too good to be true?

If you do not get it done I have a shop at the track and we could do it in the morn.
Just an offer.

3. Check your brake pads to make sure you have enough meat for the day.

Okay guys, everything turned out fine. They took about two hours, and charged $67. The only negative to them was that I noticed my rear left tire was put on with some camber so it looks like this / instead of | . The camber isn't SUPER bad. I actually didn't notice it until the car pulled to the right slightly on the highway. I'm just going to jack it up tomorrow and fix it, should take 5 minutes.
Soooooooooooooo
Oil Change - CHECK
New Tires - CHECK
Brake kit - CHECK
YAY
