I've just had really bad experiences with "tuner" and repair shops ef'n my car up , so now I just do all the work on my car . If I fuct something up at least it was my fault and didn't cost me 80+ dollars an hour for labor.

Yeah, I learned my lesson I think.

I didn't even pay for the installation to be honest though, and I still regret it, lol!

blacksandiegovitz - I had a friend who owed me money and his "boy" down at this tuner shop installed them for me as a favor for him to pay me back. I was impatient and lazy when I got them in and so I took him up on it.

Supposedly it was $150 worth of work according to the shop manager. (Friend owed me $90). It certainly didn't feel like I was getting that much of work out of them.

I'm probably going to check them out tomorrow to see what I can see down there. I need to jack up the car to take some detailed photos of how the calipers are attached for a hackjob OEM rotor/caliper rear conversion.
