Ghost Flames - I'm about 45 mins north of Doylestown in Easton. Let me know if you want to tackle the job one weekend. I've done my rotors and pads and sensors on my '06 3.0 Sport before, no big job. Maybe 3-4hours. If you haven't done the brake fluid flush yet, you might want to also consider it. If you are going with the parts from AutoZone, I believe you can pickup Castrol's LMA brake fluid from AutoZone which is pretty decent. I have the power bleeder as well.

Don't need powerbleeders if you have children... Although, I bet those are a heck of a lot cheaper than kids.....

I like the gunmetal gray rims too on a dark car. here is my vette:

I haven't ever noticed brake dust on those rims, although I do wash the car 1-2 times a week typically. Hey, it's black and my DD, what am I gonna do right?

And the winner is - the rears are toast!! Time to order more parts. Yay! :(
