Assuming you are changing both pads and rotors at the same time.

Thanks for the offer Brav, I sourced new outer halves from Forgeline and they just arrived yesterday. For the price of the new halves, I couldn't have paid to have my originals stripped and polished, so overall the experiment didn't set me back. Now the centers have been dropped off for powder coating, and the inner halves have been dropped off for paint. It will be nice to have these all fixed up, It's disappointing how badly these things corroded in such a short time.

I will be posting here and that other thread where we say how much we paid for upgrades, service, and repairs.
I bought the tires and brought them into dealer and to place each one was $35 for each tire. So $140 total for that.

I bought EBC reds and to do the front was $192.00
I was going to do it myself because the guy on the phone said they dont replace brakes unless they are audi brakes but the service representative said they can do it.
I thought front and rear for $192.00
Wrong, it was only for front or rear, so i picked front.
I will attempt the rear brakes myself.

I also got the brake fluid changed for $180

Yea I could have done the front and rear myself but after my experience with the flat I gave up on that and just going to attempt the rear first.

Thanks all for the support, tips, and not laughing too hard at me.

I will let you all know how the rear brake change goes. Why are most DIY tips and videos for front brakes lol.

The rear brakes, with the correct tools, can be a 30 minute job.
Look at the yellow racing DIY for torque specs, etc.

Some peeps purchase the piston retraction tool, others rent it, others use channel locks to screw in the rear pistons.

I thought the fronts were easier...
