$1375.00 Quote for front brake job- replace rotors and pads on a 1998 es300- $518.00 at Toyota

yeah, I will, just called to make an appointment with the Toyota dealer that is actually way closer!

Where do I get a pair? They don't have to be slotted. Also, I will use OEM pads. What do you guys think of the setup? I don't slalom , and I'm normally good on the brakes. The stealership wants to bill me 93.00 an hr for 2 hrs , is that fair.

at Lexus of Westport in Fairfield/Wesport Connecticut. Greg and Peter at the service desk are the worst of the worst as far as customer service. Shame on you guys... Time to call Lexus.

I am a consultant for IBM... babysitting server farms.

the california duster leaves swirl marks on the car... i couldnt believe it.

adding insult to injury- it just rained!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :chairshot:

well, I washed it, but i'm sure it will look like hell after a couple of hrs. I hate spring.

Damn pollen sick

I would definitely check that out at a local audio installation shop ( a good one) you don't want to get stranded somewhere. could be a lose wire, contact or something, keep us updated.

what happens if the clear gets "cleaned " away by using harsh cleaners? then what? Mine are shot, but I bring them back to life once I clay and wax them. It's a pain, and short term solution until I get new rims , but it works.

thats the stealership for you- unreal- it takes 2 minutes to install the net. I bought one. My 1998 did not come with the hooks, but the net did. Piece of cake and it looks/works great. Call Customer service, I did for a headlamp the dealership did not want to replace and they put the fear of God into the service manager. They had them stumbling over themselves trying to get me back in the dealership. I refuse to go back. i did alot of research on local shops and will investigate taking my car to the local Toyota Dealer for service if I have to.

uumm, any more detail on the lube?

wow- you guys know your stuff! Thank you very much!

kewl, thanks!

bought a new impact gun and would like to rotate my tires. I need to hand torque the lugs after i put the rims on, any idea as to how much?

Thanks steviej ! Als0- this thread makes for great reading while working the graveyard shift! thanks to all. 8)

skperformance- still got the faceplate? any pics?

hhmm, interesting you mentioned "too little, wear on the outer surface (both sides of the tire). " I have always had the tire pressure at 26 psi on my stock 15" 205 (or is it 195?) 65 15 tires and I have noticed wear to the outside o the tires today. The tires are about 1 yr old Khumo's ECSTA KH11

wow- very informative thread!. I'm running low(actually below the low line)on the reservoir ( I just checked - the engine was cold, and has not been driven since saturday)- what shoudl i put it in it?

ok, verified from sticker- 26 psi

32, 35? are those 16" tires? seems rather high to me, IMHO

I thought it was 26, but the tire says 32 max. What do you guys recommend ? Inside door sticker say 26, I think.

any rub? what spring/shocks did you use? how's the ride?

wow! amzing looking ride!
