Default new brakes

i just got new brakes installed today. we also painted the calipers black with the duplicolor caliper kit. my rotors have black powdercoated fins and hats. I went with ceramic pads and they seem to have much lower dusting and stop just as good if not better than regular pads. I got the whole kit from ebay for $313 shipped. Pads are the Posi Quiet ceramic.

Congratulations on your brakes, dude!

I really like your car -- if I could own an LT1 WS6, I would want one exactly like yours, no more and no less.

Looks good.

For anyone considering new brakes, a site sponsor, Brakemotive, has great deals on rotor/pad sets. I got slotted rotors and pads for $165, plus it's good to support sponsors!
