Ok guys what's the preferred brake caliper replacement? Steel cup or phenolic cup? Is the steel cup worth the extra $10 per side? I think I'm leaning toward steel personally.
As for brake pads, I have a set of ebc green I was going to put on but I've been told they dust like crazy. Any recommendations on a decent pad that isn't going to break my wallet?
More importantly, can any of you part store guys hook me up?

I've heard great things about Duralast Gold Cmax pads ($50). I'll likely be going with them when i go to replace mine and my fiance's.
From what i've heard the EBC Greenstuff pads aren't that good...

I have HAWK (LTS?) pads now - they work good with very little dust and no squeaking

It looks like I'm going to be changing Axle shafts with new 760x ujoints, Wheel hubs, Rotors/Pads, Calipers, Brake Hoses and possibly the hard lines for the front as mine look more like rust then metal.
Anyone have one of those Motive pressure bleeder I could borrow?

Is there an issue with extra oil in the engine? Did another oil change today and i accidentally added more than where the dipstick says"safe". Didnt realize the jug i got was 5+ quarts.
