Hi, first post here =)

I did an engine degrease and wax, took wheels off, scraped off the rust off my calipers and painted them red to match the car (yeah yeah i know, i got sick of rust colour).

Priced out front pads for car, 45 bucks canadian for monroe premium brakes...are these good or should i go with the hawk brand (around same price i believe) i dont do any hard driving, its mostly highway miles and some city driving

question 2 is how do i get the freakin caliper off

is it floating, fixed, sliding, etc?

i seen 2 bolts that look like they should come off, canadian car...14mm socket i believe, but theyre rusted on pretty good i think...if someone has a picture of their caliper they could post which bolts to take off? or do the pins simply come off.... Thanks!
