Get that and READ through it all the way before you start. The one for my 97 worked great for me. You'll probably need a C-Clamp, brake fluid, wire brush, anti-seize, and of course--a jack or lift of some kind.

(oh wait, you're not doing rotors i guess... maybe you won't need anti-seize then..?)

and no recommendations yet on the pads from me.

boo... download the free FSM for the win...

needle nose pliers or rental tool for the rear pistons if you're doing the rear pads as well...

hi-temp grease, mebbe sandpaper & a can of brakeclean to clean/relube the sliding pins...

pad selection depends on how you drive your car... daily? then I go wif autozone's lifetime warranty pads...

so if they wear out in da future, my receipt & old ones goto them & i get new pads fo free!

didnt care for the FSM all that much.

yea, wasn't sure if the rear pistons on and S13 needed to be seated by spinning them like the S14's.
