lol.. thanks man.. but I do have a jack stand behind the front wheel....it's being blocked. I'm not that dumb.

But as for braking...it's improved alot...my stock ones were squeaking so bad. I highly recommend this setup.

BTW , Thanks 94lude (Ken) for hooking it up.

Nice, looks real good. I'm wanting to get brakes soon too. You should've painted your calipers while you had the rotors off, that would've really made it look alot better. Still though, it's way better than squeaking OEM brakes.

Ken (94lude) sold the set to me...he sold the lude ( new owner totalled it ) and had this set sitting in his garage...So I took everything off his hands for $150.

Cool..

I guess you didn't catch the part about 'you shouldn't be able to tell if it's any better or not'... that means you're not supposed to be on your brakes yet man. You gotta baby the cr@p out of the brakes for 500 miles.. don't get on them, it's not that hard, for your own sake.

easy easy easy. I always allow 500 miles on new rotors and pads before I get on it to allow everything to match up and I have never had problems.

crap...and here i thought that rusted calipers didn't look good. However I do have 17"s on there and they show....

i like my red calipers, all the aftermarket calipers are colored...and i think it looks hot.

might just be me though.



nice setup btw man...i just did my brakes a month ago and i just passed the 500mi time period..so its time to test them out!
