LR3 buyers guide

On that note, anyone have any tips for doing the rear brake rotors? AB says I gotta do all these ridic things to the parking brake, etc. Why not just keep the parking brake off, and change the rotors? I understand bedding them. That makes sense. But why do I have to mess with the parking brake. Its self adjusting. So why not let it self adjust. Sure might take it a few times but easier than messing with what they said to do. Any yes, my rear rotors are warped so they do need to be replaced.
Also any tips on bleeding the brakes? I'm probably going to get a brake bleeder. I think there is something I need to do in the GAP tool. I'm doing this because my brake pedal could feel a little better, and no one has ever complained about having good brakes.

Max,
The park brake is a bitch, especially if not adjusted correctly. I did mine and they promptly frigged up, which meant that I got new rotors to my replace my recently replaced rear rotors.

Getting close to getting my hands on an LR3... PPI being done on one tomorrow 
I sent the shop doing it this thread to refer to.
Regarding parking brake, what if you just dont touch it? I never use parking brake in any of my automatic transmission cars. Where I live is rather flat.

I wanted those in the worst way on my 06 SE. Great set of wheels.
I'd be curious on price, and of course location. Prob $$ to ship.

I’ll put you two in touch. He lives in northern Virginia but is from LI and travels there often to see family and work on a Trans AM project he and his brother have been doing together. Might be a good way to save $ on transport.
