Well since Im taking my car to the mechanic to fix the ignition I wanted to start a new thread on some other things. My brakes are gone! I've changed my brake pads 4 times already a year and a half! When I bought the car the brakes sucked really bad and I even had to buy a new master cylinder that didnt do crap! So I need a complete new brake system, how much would a decent system cost? I don't know to much about cars (I'm more of an audio and electronics person and not the physical car)

so...
-------
1. Brake system? $$$ would it cost? I mean like new calipers and stuff I don't even know all the parts that go into the solora brakes or even what kind I need to research it. What do I need btw ABS brakes or what lol?

2. Suspension. EVERY TIME I RUN OVER A BUMP my car like swings to the left and its really uncomfortable. My ride is bumpy as crap, so how much would it cost to get new struts etc? And what parts are in my suspension? I want a much smoother ride so what do I need to buy?

3. Transmission drain and replace fluid, how much would that cost me?


Pardon my wording because I'm in a hurry right now and I only have 2 minutes to type this. Thanks so much guys!

who changed your last brakes, and what kind of rotors did you use (normal, drilled, slotted, etc.)? That is kinda bizarre... but the pricing depends on what you need, but it sounds like something probably wasn't properly torqued.

For the suspension, you're looking at at least $250 per axle, even more if you plan to lower it... Plus about $50 for an alignment.

Trans fluid is about $60 on up.
