The rotors are good... it looks bad because I worked on it for two days and it rained so there's some rust on it... but it'll go away once the brake pad rubs it off when I brake. but yeah... I am thinking about getting rotors but now i'm just so poor after buying struts, springs, wheels and tires. But more pictures coming soon

i know how u feel. i did mine all by myself and it took from like 10am -7pm for me to get it done, probably would have been faster with air tools. Getting the old ones off wasnt that hard. it was getting the new ones on that was a pain. i'll definitely never do it again unless i absolutely have to.

if you're referring to installing struts, i hear you never again lol! not having having the air tools made it a lot harder

yeah... i did everything with hand tools such as rachet and stuff... so i spend a lot of time using a rachet with the spring compressor... and also the other part that took so long was when installing the strut in the rear... for some reason the strut wasn't lining up with the axle so i couldn't slide my bolt in... and i was doing it by myself so i ended up using a hydraulic jack and a hammer to get it into place... so all in all... i admire you guys who did your struts yourself

questions for you guys... did it take a while for your springs to compress? because i swear it seems lower now then when i took a picture as posted earlier... seems like it just got compressed down or something... i'll take a picture soon again... and by the way... my gf's neon was hit by a bobcat tractor owned by the apartment... stupid people riding that thing as if it's an srt or something... so trying to get the insurence to pay for a new paint job
