Did the Brakes on the V Today! I had a ton of Vibration during highway braking due to warped rotors, I ordered Hawk pads and Powerslot rotors. Lets just say I am very pleased!
here are the Pics!
Installed:
Then I decided to give away some furniture: Lets just say it went really fast!!! First thing a passer by asked was if this was the New V. I stated "no" with a frown "its the 400hp version."
Right after I moved my car The furniture was claimed!!!!
Now she is sitting in my warehouse lonely :-(
overall the brake install took around 45 minutes total. 3 bolts for front same in the rear.

1. I like the coffee table,veneer is it from?
2. I like the brake setup
3. Did you ask the new resident if he had some spare change? I love to beat them to the punch line and leave them dazzled and confused.
4. Warehouse I like.

Who did you go with when you got your hood? It looks like it fits nice. I will be getting one sometime in the future but I hate when there are gaps in some places then tight in others.

Good info about the brakes!
My '04 has only 23K on it now, but it's nice to know they're easy to work on when the time comes.

front and rear rotors were 130 a piece I dont recall what i paid for the pads.... I think around 100.
Stops the same, honestly don't drive it hard enough to tell.
The warehouse where the Cts-v is pictured is my expansion for the dealership side of things. Last edited by Perkman87; 12-29-2011 at 07:59 PM.

I think the hood might be Extreme Composites. It looks a lil taller than mine, which is a Spectre Werks. Although, comparing photos, they look similar, but lack the squirters, which is an EC trait.

I just picked up and installed new factory pads form the dealer on the front, about $100 for the brembos. The rotors I used were som ebay special cross drilled and slotted ones. Prob gona have to cut them a bit to get out a bit of warp right out of the box. All 4 rotors were 270 shipped. Not sure I would recommend or buy again. just my .02
