i've never changed brakes before. The adapter plate for the jdm turbo will be finished tomorrow, little grinding and a cut out and im good. I want to put my new rotors and pads on as well, but I've never done it. Can anyone help me out with a good pictoral tutorial or something? If anyone wants to get upset because I'm asking a question, keep it to yourself because that is of no help to anyone on the forum. Thanks guys.

no pics but the basics are
1 remove wheel
2 remove caliper(2 10 or 12 mm blots)
3 take off the little metal thing that resembles the thickness of a paper clip(with needlenose pliers)
4 remove 2 metal rods holding brake pads in.
5 dont lose the metal sheets behind the brake pads.
6 replace pads
7 reverse the last 4 steps
8 remove rotor(should slid off easy)
9 put on new one
10 reatach caliper(if the room between the brake pads doesnt fit the rotor remove the brake resivour cover and squeeze the hell out of the pads towards the caliper)
thats a detailed as I can get.
Now tell me how you manage to get the oil return to go into the bottom portion of the oil pan.Beater=/= Sleeper

are you refering to your having problems removing the caliper or you dont know what i mean by saying remove the caliper?
there is two bolts holding it on behind it. You might need a breaker bar to losen them they're on kinda tight.
and there is one-2 sheet of metal behind each brake pad.(not visible atached to the car) they are referd to as anti-squeak shims in the hayens manual. i don't know how they work exactly but they're aparently important
there is a nice discription and pics in the hayens manual on it in chapter 9 page 4
if my response still isnt helpful..Beater=/= Sleeper
