ECS brake kit, is this kit needed?

[cspcrx]

Coming due for brakes so I am going to take advantage of the ECS sale.

I am going to go with the Front 2-Piece Brake Rotors - Pair (345x30)

Akenbono Front Euro Ceramic Brake Pad Set that includes sensor

Do I need this? This is the first time brakes are being done on this car and I do not live in a place where it has seen snow.

I just bought 4 new caliper stretch bolts for a few bucks each, but many don't even change those.

OK that is a good idea. I will look for those on the ECS site, did you get them there or from the dealer?

Install kits are always a good idea. You never know when you'll come across a stubborn bolt that breaks or something that gets stripped or lost during a service. At least when you have a service kit you have everything you need.

Can't tell you how many times I've been half way through a job and I either lose a crucial part, something breaks/ strips or I find out I need a replacement which I don't have. Unlike a shop that has many parts at their disposal when this happens there's not much of a hold up. But for the average guy who turns wrenches in the garage you might not be so lucky and could end up with a vehicle on jack stands longer than you had planned.

I hear you, but its another $195 to shell out. Since your on here do you guys sell the stretch bolts? Also, is there sale price that is displaying now the black Friday / cyber Monday price or should I hold off on my order and check Friday and Monday? If you know or can say.

Front caliper mounting hardware is available individually -check out the link below.

Though I would probably wait until Friday to order them
