Hi guys,

I need new front pads and rotors. How easy is it to change them considering I dont work on cars regularly. What pads do you recomend and what rotors?

Is there a good place to order these parts online for my 2000 ES.

Thanks in advance for your time.

 

This might help...

Welcome to CL btw

 

go with oem genuine pads... they last the longest!

 

i use bendix, import quiet is pretty good, you can get ceramic too, got them on ebay

 

Thank you vin 78

I don't know if im capable of doing that myself I dont have the appropriate tools and may damage something.

Has anyone else purchased brake parts on ebay?

You you insist on buying brakes on ebay, buy only powerstop, brembo, or powerslot.

My friend bought a set of aftermarket, private brand rotors on ebay and they were pretty ****ty, that being said, I'm confident that they are totally safe to use. It seems that the material is either soft or the OEM brake pads are too harsh for the rotors

 

If I attempt this with a friend. Should I disconnect the battery so they abs or electrical deosnt #$#ck up?

 

I have never seen anyone recomend it. I don't do it when I replace my brake.

 

Is it Dot4 brake fluid for my 2000 es 300? Can I use generic brake fluid.

 

saved myself $150 to do my brakes on my own today. great success

 

Dot 3 is standard.

 

and I may use any generic dot 3 fluid or must it be a lexus or toyota product

 

Any brand of brake fluid is okay as long as its dot 3 or 4. You can use dot 4 if you want, it has a higher boiling point than dot 3.

 

Yea, I think that might be a better choice, thanks for all your help guys/girls
