I totally trust this mechanic. He has done a lot of work on our other car and has always been really fair with us. That being said his labor is a $100 an hour. I noticed I had braking problems on the drive home after buying it and it has Become worse over that last few weeks. Also the gaskets I knew were leaking just not this bad he used the words "dumping oil" since I'm getting new brakes can I just go with gen 2? Do the bolt up to what's already there or is there some modification? Also what are the advantages? And thanks for the offer of sending me some brakes that very nice and I may take you up on it.
