DIY: 4-lug V6 Size Brakes with SS Lines (LOTS of pics!)

How much do the entire knuckle for the V6 cost at the junkyard? If you wanted to replace them with new parts, you just need the hub and bearing assembly for the front and hub/bearing in one unit for the rears. The cost is about 3 bills but the labor will cost you about 2 bills as well. Of course, you still need to get V6 calipers, rotors and pads for the front and rotors and pads for the rear and that can cost a pretty penny depending on where you get them from.

reviving this thread, is it necessary to replace the brake line with steel braided ones?

i dont think it's necessary, but if you are going through the trouble of changing all this, you might as well.

Goodridge sells one version for V6 and I4, so that tells me the stock lines are probably same. So no replacement necessary.

So i found sr-v calipers and bracket today for $100, sr-v rotors and pbr pads for $200, do you guys think that's a good price?
