has anyone changed break pads, rotors, spacers, or any DIY?

I did a lot of work with a friend on my Acura back in the day. Did some minor stuff with my Subaru, and want to get back into it.

Problems are: lack of tools and minimal mechanical/procedural knowledge and really no space.

If you guys do a group maintainence day, post it and I will definitely be there. When more money rolls around, I will be getting another set of brake pads for auto-crossing.

With all the crap in it right now it's more like a 1 car garage, but in the coming weeks I think we're going to clean it out and lay down some epoxy coating on the floor to spruce it up a bit. It's a pretty good space and I have *most* of the hand tools I need (I'm always adding more stuff.)

Of course the issue is actually getting into the garage. At stock ride height I scrape pulling into the driveway so there's no way a lowered Z would make it without some wood panels or something.
