believe it or not, NAPA isnt to prevalent around here! I'm from NY and they wre all over up there. I do have an advance clsoe to me. I need them today so i can change em out tonight. I called and they said it was only like 30 some odd dollars for a pair of Raybestos queit stop? that doesnt sound right does it??? They're 60-70 everywhere else!
One mroe question: Is it entirely neccessary to loosen or remove the caliper bolts to change the pads? Midas Muffler stripped one of my caliper threaded holes a few years back and i had to have the dealer Helicore it. I dont know how well a helicore will hold up to more abuse so i would rather not even mess with it.
