Default New brake upgrades on...Pics.

After a small hicup with a caliper I got everything on.....what a appearance difference it makes. Stopping power seems slightly improved....I may have to get my hands on a power bleeder though to get them real good.

Setup is:

new OE spec calipers powdercoated SOM
Brakemotive rotors & pads
SS braided lines.

After

I just bought new stock calipers so I could paint them. I like to keep all my original parts.

I don't know if the rotors are lighter than stock....I should have weighed them. Brakemotive says they are a OE rotor so I would assume they are about the same.

I don't have any pics of the whole car with the new brakes but I'm always up for whoring her out.
