Suspension swaps shouldn't take more than 2 hours at most.
With the tools I have, it takes about that long if I do it myself.

Speaking of tools, this day will only be a success if we have enough tools. People should bring whatever they can mobilize. Hopefully a few extra jacks and stands also. If we have only one ratchet/socket set there trust that it will be a very slow day.

If you're doing your rotors and pads you should really flush your fluid and bleed the brakes properly.


I hope you plan on getting there early, lol.

yeah we are getting ambitious. You guys better bring as many ramps/jack stands/jacks/ratchet-socket sets as possible. It's gonna be funny if after all this talk two people show up to do a brake pad change haha.

Seems like we have a lot of people want to do brake stuff. Maybe we can assembly line it. Have one/two people in each corner. Kind of like a pit stop!
