I got NEW BRAKES!!!!!!!

I am so excited. I bought myself a christmas present.

I-Rotors and AEM pads. TOTAL less then 200 bucks. I needed new brakes anyway (53,000 mi) so i figured why not. I will be getting them in a week and installing them in 2 weeks. I can't wait. Now all I need is a NEW set of rims since I dented all 4 of my others on the MD highways and am now rolling stock again. I can't show off my new rotors[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

All in due time I guess! Now I have something else to add to my list of parts

How many Hp do you think I will get out of this... 100hp

See you all at the next MD/VA Meet

It's all about the Down Shifting!!!!!!!! I drive in heavey traffic every day. 495. i put 150 miles a day and mostly city driving. how you got only 18,000 mi, is beyond me. When I owned my jeep wrangler my brakes lasted 5 years, 100,000 miles. LEARN TO DOWN SHIFT. It's saves money. Unless you own an AT. then your screwed. BTW Down shifting DOES NOT hurt the engine. If you do it right.

I can't wait!!!! 2 weeks and they are on[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

hey vince actually i heard that the AEM puts out around 132 hp and the rotors will give an extra 33 ponys. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG], I thinki am in need of some getting new ones as well, i got almost 49k on mine now, some people are just scared to down shift, people down shift to race right so why not down shift to slow down aswell. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG], I wanna conversion kit for my rear, is there one out for ours, do you know.

No conversion. Also the only one I have seen is a big brake conversion which require 16-17" rims. made by AEM for 2000 and older. www.Modacar.com. Maybe some one can get spunky and convert the conversion. however that is your life and someone elses on the road you may be messing with unless you are a professional mechanic.
