The Turtle is screeming

so for a little while now, my left wheel has been sceetching. dont be scared, i know what it is, its my breaks. the pads are worn out, and now its giving the screetching sound to tell me so. this means its time for new breaks.

this time i think i need better breaks, i need new pads and new calipers, and not OEM. this will not be done soon, but rather in spring, hopefully in the first install meet we have, so u guys can help me install them. so its time to start saving some mulla and planning what to buy.

so tell me what my options are, AEM, brembo ? what brands and prices am i looking at. and is installation easy enough ??

I dont know if baer offers any kits for your car but they make good packages for most cars that dont see only racing, they make a nice kit for my car and a few others for about 600$ with 12.2 inch rotors or 13s and 2 pot calipers. thats a lot cheaper than AEM brakes.

bearings => bushings I'd believe .. no way that brake job would include a bearing change for that price..
