new member needs a little help...

about to buy a 04 wrx sedan with 61k in san jose and it will need new brakes within a month or two im guessin after i test drove it and from owners estimation. unfortunately i still live in the dorms at santa cruz so i dont have anywhere to work on my car in the near area...any one willing to help me out? it wont be that soon so its no rush but if someone has a weekend to spare to help me replace rotors and pads so i dont have to take it to a shop, let me know. or if someone knows a place that will do it for cheap...thatll be ok i guess. thanks in advance

I live in watsonville. I'm sure we can get you in at my house. And I've got a 6 stock rotors. 4 front. 2 back that are pretty much perfect.

if you're gonna upgrade I'd just do a pkg somewhere. They don't charge much for installation. I do recommend not cheaping out though. Go DBA or some kind of quality rotor... at least for the front. You'll be sorry if you go cheapos.
