Well, I went to autozone today and bought the calipers, rotors, and disc brakes from them. '96 4wd limited 16" 5 spoke wheels.

#060465 DGC976 Duralast Gold Cmax Brake Pads 51.99/ea
#332675 31267 Duralast Brake Rotor 103.95/pair
#862917 C9951 Disc Brake Caliper 76.99/ea

Total 466.74, will have 150 in core charges to bring it down to 316.74.

Will these work? I just want to make sure i can clear them with 16" 5 spoke limited rims. Performance wise I thnk they will do just fine, they have extensive warranties on them. I do wish I had the Brembo (spelling?) rotors.

I am putting these on in the morning 8/16 unless I get bashed by everyone for being a dumbass for buying autozone parts. Any advice would be great.

BTW, do I need to bleed the brakes after the swap?

Mission accomplished

I got them done today. The first one took about 2 and half hours because this was first time doing brakes, and I was just enjoying the music, dirt, and coffee. The second one took about 30 mins. It was too fast! I was waiting for a buddy to come over to help bleed and cleaned up the engine with the brake cleaner (that stuff is awesome).

After install I got up to 60mph and slmmed on the brakes quite a few times. Then I pulled into the neighborhood and kept the gas and brakes applied at the same time. When I got to my driveway the discs were smoking like I seafoamed them. The Check Engine light actually went on because of it. 2011-08-16_13-40-02_574.jpg
