I had EVERYTHING replaced on my '93 up to and including rotors, wheel bearings & seals, and drums. The only I didn't have replaced were the steel lines because they were still solid.

hey thanks again for all the replies guys, it's been super helpful and I pretty much have my shopping list ready smile

one more thing is, a mechanic friend the other day suggested I should be replacing 'all the hoses' on my engine as they appear rather worn. Do you guys have some tips on this one as well in terms of what to get via Rockauto?

Or better make a new thread/topic for this?

cheers

I recommend Gates brand hoses, just my opinion as I've had great luck with them in terms of quality. Change the thermostat too while you're in there.

I think the heater hoses are just bulk hose that you can probably get from a local auto supply house.

Replace all the clamps with high-quality stainless steel.

Also depending on miles, when you are doing all the coolant hoses, you might want to put in a new water pump.

heater hoses + thermostat,
coolant hoses + water pump,

cheers
