Default Got my brakes done!

Yay! At least my neon can stop now lol. I would suggest that everyone inspect their brake lines, mine had just about a foot of rust that was horrible, I will get pics up in a few minutes. It only took me about an hour, that includes jacking up the car and bleeding all 4 wheels.

Yeah, you would think they should last longer than this though...

They are stock, so ten years, you would think they would last longer than that though...
