So it has come time to do the brakes on the ol' vic. I am doing the brakes on the front end. I have not done a brake job in years. What should I be looking out for when I am doing them?
thanks for your time ,dave

They are super easy on an 01. The fronts are LARGE and heavy. Expect to need new calipers. There are steel piston and phenolic piston versions, make sure you get the right ones. I recommend the Performance Friction CarbonMetallic pads.
On the rears, it uses the same caliper side-to-side, so on one side it's inboard and the other it's behind the axle.
