Hey guys new to the forum i hve a question; my Dad and we checking my car the other day (05 LGT) and realized that my brakes needed to be replaced and he feels that going to the Subaru dealer is the best way to go. However, i feel that that is going to cost me alot of money where i dont see y i could just install the brake pads. Should i do it myself or listen to my father and go to the dealer??
