Replacing Rotors

Just need a little help with this swap.

First, I need to find a good source for OEM rotors and pads. I'm not looking to upgrade, just get it back to stock performance.

Second, I checked Brent's site, but couldn't find a pictoral swap guide. Internet use is fairly limited to me, so I don't have a lot of time to browse around and search for one.

Thanks for your help!

If you are set on OEM stuff, Jason or Dal is where you want to get your parts. With 887 posts, I am sure you have seen their contact info by now.

As far as the rotors go, once the caliper is removed, there is nothing to keep the rotor from coming off (except maybe rust or a star washer or two).

Shoe: I'm familiar with Jason C, I just live in Canada, and as your dollar keeps getting stronger, prices go up and up

Are there any little tips I need to know about the rotor swap? Torquing and whatnot?

The rotors are held on by the lug nuts, so torquing your wheels back on will take care of that.

Most torque specs for your 1994 can be found here.

Awesome, thanks Shoe.

I go home on leave in a week, hopefully this swap doesn't take too much time out of my time at home. So long as it's as simple as taking off the wheels, taking off the calipers and having at 'er, it should be a piece of cake. Thanks again!
