I just replaced the subframe and while I had the car up on stands, I figured I will do the brakes as well. Pads and shoes were about 50% and the rotors and drums had plenty of meat left but were ugly with rust. The aluminum wheels are very clean so I didn't want to see rusty parts behind them ruining the look.
Raybestos coated rotors,
Raybestos Element 3 pads,
Started on the rear brakes and got one side finished. These have the single "W" hold down spring which is a pain to work with, and the parking brake lever spring is even worse. Yes I have the tools. Will get some picks after finishing the other side tomorrow.
