I replaced my pads a while ago, but it turned out I'd been missing most of the power from my right piston lol.

Finally getting around to zeroing the brakes except for the copper lines, which should be fine right? Only a 20 year old car...

Am I missing anything? I have new rotors already just need to install them.

What are the “copper lines” you’re referring to? The metal hard brake lines? If so, yes, you generally don’t replace those unless they are rusted/leaking/damaged.

#

If you’re replacing the entire front braking system, you look like you have what you need. Appears the brake flex hoses come with new banjo bolt washers, which is good - don’t reuse those.

that looks like one of the local auto parts stores website

#

don’t get stuff from them

#

it’s overpriced and usually not the best quality

#

rock auto / walmart / even ebay is likely to be better

Remember too - reman calipers, so they’ll be shipping the old calipers back to get the core return. I’ve done that with RA, but it adds a complication versus brick and motor if something doesn’t go quite right.

#

but he shouldn’t get everything from one place shop around and get everything where it has the best price

#

Agreed. Sometimes the value of online is so much better

if he is not careful then this stuff would cost more than the value of the car

Has to be all in one order for PayPal credit. 0% interest over 6 months over $99.

Tires are next, probably get those at Walmart when I figure out which ones to get.

Advanced auto seems solid usually. Granted they all get their stuff from the same factories in China.

honestly if you need to finance parts for your 2000 hyundai accent then i’m sorry for you
