    How many people do we have coming to this mod day. Seems like we have about 8 but could be wrong. Rob is the man for finding that place and John is the super man for helping me out and having it at his place lol.

    The place I usually go to did my alignment for $60. I'm sure putting your coils together wouldn't be bad either. Only thing he's usually only there till noon on a Saturday, usually finishing up left over work.

    Is it the front brakes? I've done calipers before. Haven't really tried doing drum brakes myself.

    Ya that's a standard price for toyota to do brakes lol. It's insane. My dads tundra brakes needed to be done and they wanted 1,200 for all 4. It's crazy. Way to much Monty. I would rather have my friends help me do it and save all that money. I can't believe that they would charge so much and get Away with it.

    Just swapping pads or pads and rotors? Usually you want to change them together or have the rotors turned because an old, improperly worn rotor can eat up new pads quickly.

    If you can, hit the bolts bolts that hold the caliper to the spindle the night before with some PB Blaster. If not, no big deal, just might take a little more umph. Also, make sure the pads came with some anti-sieze or pick up a small tube of it on your way out.

    As far as spare parts, I've got a set of OEM Bilstein shocks and coils I've been looking to get rid of. Not lift components but figured I'd throw it out there. They're off an SR5 and are already assembled.

    Nope, unfortunately they're still sitting in a box at my house. The 520's that replaced them look great though! :D

    I think so. I might not be able to stay the whole time because I have a game later in the day but I'm 90% sure I'll be able to make it and help out with some stuff.
