Brakes

How hard is it to do a brake job on these cars. Ive done it an a few hondas and domestics but wasnt sure about these. My front brakes are shot and wanted to know if i would be better off sending it to a shop or doing it myself. Also would you recomened doing all four corners or just the fronts.

it's not difficult. Depending on what you need done. Your brakes are "shot"? What does that mean? Need a rebuild on the calipers?

Not that bad IMO. I had a little trouble getting the rear pads back in but thats because I was not seeing something very obvious.
