Default Where to work on cars at VT

Just curious, I think I'll be ordering some coilovers soon and was wondering if anyone out there wanted to lend me their driveway lol, or if there was an apt complex around here that doesn't care if people work on their cars in the lot. I'm on campus, so I sure can't do it in the cage very well. Anyways, if anyone has a place that's cool, otherwise I can go home & do it in w-burg

u dont need to remove the reservoir cap when you do brake pads. at least i didnt on my 1990 Integra GS that i just recently replaced the rear pads on. btw, i suggest renting the brake caliper tool from Auto Zone. its worth to rent it instead of buying that box crap thing to loosen the piston.

confused, why would you need to do that, just to avoid getting air in the line or what?
