damn that looks tight. how much bigger are the rotors and do you have any pics with the wheels on?

Peasey 05-14-2005 12:12 PM

that looks good.good job

eye_see_you 05-14-2005 12:16 PM

I decided yellow because it stands out with th color of my car. I'm still working on bleeding them out correctly and hopefully having my wheels back on and rolling today. Its been a pain and I did not take pics as I was doing it but may have to pull them again for adjustments then I'll see about a DIY for aftermarket kits.

MiamiUgen7 05-14-2005 12:19 PM

where did you get them from and how much?

about 680 for the set on the front and about the same price for the rear disc conversion kit I got. I'll put it on at another time

they make

1 piston (OEM)
2 piston SSBC, Wildwood
3 piston SSBC
4 piston SSBC

i'm not sure on the others right now

Boilermaker1 05-14-2005 11:41 PM

Wilwoods are 4 piston, not 2, Brembos are also 4 pot. Unless you're nuking brake pads on a regular basis, you probably could have increased your stopping power with better pads and fluid for a whole lot less.

actually I've got the factory pads with 46k miles on them and they looks as good as the new ones. Its not for the fact of increasing stopping power initially its for the eye candy they offer plus the upgrade.
