Oh yea they just arrived...

So I came home today, and fell in love with a giant 78lb box. Its contents? My ep3 rear disc brakes. Oh yea thats right...sexy. I'm currently waiting for my ss lines to arrive, then I'm going to install the whole setup. I think Im going to try to do a 60mph - 0mph brake test on the stock setup, then do one after I get the discs installed.

I'll keep you guys updated.

I got them because I don't think drums will last at a track. But we'll see if my little experiment shows any improvement over the drums.

They dont stop any better. But they dont disintegrate either.

Uhh quick question about the ss lines. When I remove the stock rubber ones, will the fluid just spill everywhere? How do I go about swapping them?

you gotta bleed your brakes after the swap and that will fill the lines back up
