bigmoney ooooh so funny, are you retarded  ? first of all it is a POS Brullen y pipe that does not fit (which is the reason i am broke!), not MSDS....second, about the apex'i....i was asking about it mostly to learn, that's a funny word "learn", you should look that up in the dictionary, and if you didn't notice, it does say i might be looking into one of these in about 6 MONTHS!! That's cool if you misunderstood those posts, but don't come at me talking about "people here don't appreciate b.s."  I've got a clue for you, most people don't like taking heat from an idiot who has no idea what he is talking about. Go try to punk someone else, just hope I am not in your area anytime soon because my brakes don't work.
i saw your post before you got crazy and you seemed like an ok person, i even thought your advice was good, thanx for that. seriously though, you got crazy for no reason, bad day?

Damn guys lay off. Are all of you saying you've never had to skimp because you're low on cash? You've never put sheetz gas in your car because you're on E and only have 5 bucks? He said he's upgrading as soon as he gets the money. I agree that he should get better brakes, but if he cant't, he can't. Hell, cheap brakes are better than no brakes.
Go to autozone and ask for the cheapest pad they have. When I bought brake pads, they had several choices, one of which was a 'lifetime' no name set. I think they were around $20-ish.

Not a bad day at all, guess I'm an a$$hole all the time. It's common sense, really, the prudent thing to do is not to skimp on essential's (like brakes or other regular maintenance) in order to buy performance. Maybe I'm an old coot, but starting with a solid car and going from there tends to keep you out of trouble and off the side of the road.
Re-read this thread and notice how many CEGr's have brought up issues with your brake plan. Perhaps I'm not the only "crazy punk"...
BTW, I followed the thread about the y-pipe and that is just plain wrong. SVTCuervo did a great job keeping the buy going and following through to delivery but he sure dropped you like a hot potato when you started having fitment issues. Hopefully Brullen will offer a solution but the person organizing the group buy should be leading the fight.

maybe my posts about what i was looking for in brakes was worded wrong or something, but seeming that many people reacted the same way, i know that something must have come across wrong. i was not trying to skimp on things, just short on money at the particular moment and frustrated because i'm short on money. hopefully i'll have a new job lined up at a casino where i'll make almost twice as much as i am now, then i'll buy super duper cross drilled, extreme slotted, ported and polished, carbon, kevlar, diamond, 20 inch rotors......just kidding of course. but yeah, things might be looking sunny over the horizon. i will get stazi's kit now because i am getting an extra paycheck in october, so i'll use that. question: i heard demon say don't worry about the backs, just get fronts in another post. i need new fronts bad but my rears can be turned if even necessary, correct? i'll still need pads of course. or is this considered skimping?

Turning the rotors (front or rear) isn't considered skimping at all. Just replace the pads and it'll be like new. The key is to have true mating surfaces.

The front brakes do all the work and wear the most. Your rears are most likely in fine shape.

that's what i was thinking. like i said before, i don't know too much about brakes but i know they are easy because my friend can change them, and he knows NOTHING about cars. thanx for the civilized answers.
