Exclamation so I need some new brakes...

I'm gonna order some mach1/bullitt brakes from buyfordracingparts.com

the problem is I'm 19, very good with cars as well are all my friends (help), however, I've never done a break job (nor have they), my father who yes is much more intelligent and more wise than me and I will admit it is recommending I don't try to do it on my own... so I'm here asking you guys for advice... does anyone know of a thread that is a step-by-step how to and how many of you think I should listen to the old man and just pay someone else to do it (I'm also a poor college student)

Thanks for the input guys

if you're very good with cars it shouldn't be a problem, esp if you have friends, get a haynes repair manual or something, or when it comes time and you get stuck with something make a thread. I replaced the brakes on my car, it required 2 people for bleeding and such so if you have friends you should be okay.

If you follow SVT's advice and better with mechanics than forming a proper sentence, you should be fine

if I have not mistaken the cobra brakes are the same as the mach1/bullitt brakes (correct me if I'm wrong)


I apologize for my poor sentence formatting, I've been all over the east coast looking at audi's for my girlfriend who knows nothing about cars except she wants an A4... I'm getting a little worn out. If I'm not feeling lazy, maybe I'll take some pictures and make a thread about it. Thanks for the help guys!
