Yeah def 2hour max for a shop with a lift. Fluid flush brake lines take 30min once the wheel are off the car.

Agreed but the total job still only took a couple of hours at most (less if I recall correctly). The tech did have a bit of a hard time of the rears but not a big deal really.

Thanks gthal. This is very helpful, doing mine on Monday. How much did your shop charge you, if you dont mind me asking

I don't recall exactly but it also included a track inspection... I want to say $400 to change the lines, flush the fluid and change the pads and do the track inspection.

Installed at EAS yesterday:
- Stoptech SS lines
- Stoptech Street Performance brake pads
- Motul RBF600 fluid

EAS did it for me in 2.5 hrs and charged very reasonable rate. I was quoted earlier in the day 2.7 times more and twice as much shop time for the same work!! Great job EAS!

Now, I just have to bed-in the pads and sign up for December 17th Performance Driving Clinic at Buttonwillow

You copied my set up!
Good job picking EAS! They've done plenty of work on all of my cars

Ask in the CA section, the Buttonwillow Perf Driving clinic isn't all that..
it's expensive ($200) and your track time is pretty limited, especially if it's your first time there.
The whole track isn't opened up until later in the day, and even then you can only pass on straights with a point-by....
I mean, I had fun as Button is my favorite track...but felt the $200 was wasted since everything was so controlled.

Couple of us are going to Big Willow, you should come

Haha, after much consideration I settled on your setup, I figured it will give me the most bang for the buck for what I need right now

I'll think about going on the 18th... It may be a better idea. Thanks for all the info!
