Thank you. Thank you very much! lol
I really read most of the posts, but thought for sure that this was an old thread that someone relisted. When you posted that I hadn't said much, I had to go see what you were talking about.
You guys covered the swap over fairly well. Wasn't much need for more input. I pulled my info that came from another thread of 2 years ago, and found the info I wanted. It always get's me that guys don't know if they have 14mm or 12mm studs. How in the hell, can you not know what you have when it's right in front of you? Does it take a 19 mm or 21 mm socket to remove the lug nut? That tells you immediately, but you certainly can't get that thru to a lot of the newer individuals. It's like a mental block with some of them. Getting a production date, forget it. They can't even find that. LOL
Since finding this Expy and pulling the parts, I have little to buy. The one caliper is usable, but while doing it, why not make it the same, so I don't have a problem later. I may keep the caliper and eat the $7.00 core charge, since it is in like new condition. It's still Raybestos gray, and no rust.

Some bolt, stud questions crack me up though. I like the posts where you tell them it takes a 6mm bolt and they get all tuff in disagreement saying your wrong because it took a 10mm wrench to get the thing off lol.
Oh yea, I'd appreciate you not making the Expy brake thing look so easy right now.
Currently, I think whitegt is getting jolly's attempting to mess with my head over there. Posting that Gigantic Caterpillar rotor next to a little 150 rotor insinuating this is what mine should look like in comparison.

No worries.
Man, I hope I last as this as this is going take lol. Yea EBC had the least amount of info on the stuff they are selling...VERY unprofessional, that's just plain bad lol. They leave you sort guessing as it is, for them to totally mismark these pads and I wasn't the first one to get them, chipped paint and scratched up, they must have been returned for the same reason and put right back on the shelf.
