Brakes typically aren't that difficult

Brakes are easy mode. It prolly has disc all the way around. Makes it easier than rear drums.

Doesn't Acura have some kind of special sensors that have to be replaced as well?

With the age of Google and YouTube, I highly recommend giving it a shot yourself. Of course it depends on if you have the tools needed.

I know a good guy for about any auto. McAdams Auto Research 635-2707. He was less than half of Michel tires and Brakeway. I have also known him for over 20 years.

In shelbyville. I can do it tomorrow. $20 and bring your own pads. I'm 11 years experienced and used to run my own shop for 5 years. Pm for phone number if I'm close enough for you to work it out.

That's a deal. Want to work on my mustang brakes too sometime? It's not worth me dragging all the tools out for that.
