3timeJag,
There are many brands out there, and personally I don't think any of them are bad, and I am amazed how cheap most of them are. I have used Brakemotive products on my Corvette as well as my wife's Honda CRV, and never had any complaints. I personally don't think you are achieving anything by paying premium prices, I think the quality for normal driving is fine with most suppliers out there plain, drilled, drilled and slotted etc. etc. The only thing I would recommend is buying the Akebono ceramic brake pads, they are top quality, have a great progressive feel to them, as well as almost zero brake dust.

If you are handy you can do it yourself, but I always leave transmission stuff to the experts, plus it's a PITA without a lift.

Yep, I was thinking it is a must-do on my list. My tyranny guy, who is also excellent, says he’ll do it for me for around $300. We JUST serviced the tranny with new fluid and filter, says he can reclaim at least 90% of it. Thankfully, the fluid he originally removed was clear as a bell, according to him, so I should be good to go after the TransGo operation. Tranny was rebuilt about two years ago as well. Tensioners upgraded, new shocks and bushings/shock mounts all around too. I’m wanting to keep this one a long time.
many thanks!
many thanks!

As for the pads, personally I would go with the Akebono Ceramics, as stated previously.

I made the purchase, did the installs myself and followed their break-in instructions to a tea. (break in hard is their method) I believe it's partly because their rotors are nickel plated. I bought the drilled & slotted rotors and their ceramic pads. They look amazing and perform very well! I am very impressed with their products.
However, in the future I will probably try their rotors again, but will probably go with the Akebono Euro ceramic pads!
