Anybody want to get rid of that nasty brake dust?

Is there anybody in Orange County, CA that wants to get rid of that nasty brake dust? I would like a R129 buddy to partner up with on a Saturday for a 2-3 hour/car brake job? I'll buy the beverages! You supply the garage, jack, stands, and torque wrench.

Doesn't hurt to ask!

I've decided to go with the following:

Front Pad Wear Sensors p/n 1405401217 $4.70 each
Front SA Rotors p/n 1294212312 for $104 each
Front Akebono Euro, #AKEUR847 $95.00/set,
Rear Akebono Euro, #AKEUR603 $51.00/set.
Rear SA Rotors p/n 1294230512 for $102 each
Rear Pad Wear Sensors p/n 1265402017 $3.50 each

Or we could have the rotors turned, if they meet M-B specs, for $15-$20/each.

i had custom Carbon-Kevelar pads cut or my Brembos, it helped a lot!!! i tried ceramic pads for a fiew rounds, helped a LITTLE but nothing significant.

I smell a party. I have everything you need just no power tools. I have jack stands and two power jacks. I can bring to location if needed. JJ
