Although are drilled rotors really a good idea?
SF-Rockster, how long did it take you to do?

Idk what you mean by "are drilled rotors a good idea?"
The S model has them stock. So..... I guess it's a good idea and it looks better and should cool down the rotors. IMO
As far as squealing goes NONE to report.
The installation took me total with paint 3hrs.
If I didn't have to wait for the paint to dry I'd say I could tackle this project in about 1.5hr-2hrs.
Pretty simple really,
Jack front end up,
remove tires,
remove brakes (just a pin and a shaft holding them in)
remove calipers (two bolts)
remove rotors (two screws)
and repeat backwards.
Same goes for the rears.
Not many tools involved at all.
