Default Cobra brake conversion install?

Hey guys just picked up some cobra 13" rotors, calipers, hoses etc. full set up for a front brake conversion. Does anyone know how much it would cost for install? Its just the front brakes and I know that I can do them myself but bleeding out the brakes and everything might take a while and I dont have that much time to do them this month and I want them done A.S.A.P. If it ends up being inexpensive then I don't mind paying to have it done. If not then im gonna have to wait [:@]. If anyone has an idea of how much it would cost let me know thanks.

you have all the brake stuff right? then it should be free. new 13" cobra brake kits are about $400. you should be able to install it your self

I have no Idea what it would cost you to get it installed, you best bet is to call around and ask them. Check Midas and thoes kind of places, they might only charge you $50 or so because you have all the parts. Call around and let us know what you find out. And also let us know how you like them after the install, I am going to be getting the Baer Track kit for the front of my car and up grade to 13" Baer +2 rotors in the rear with their upgrade kit in the very early part of next year.

i would say 50 to 100 bucks depending on the labor rate if you have every thing and all that is needed is swap parts then. it wont take 15 min to install then just bleed i would say less than 1 hour labor.

if its anything like replacing the brakes on my old v6 accord, itll be a sinch. the hardest part was losening the weak caliper bolts w/o stripping them.

Wish I had friends like that.

Now, get your buddy to buy the rear brake kit and then he can give you the rear cobra set up. You'll be set.
