 brakes were easy install until i broke two bolts above the heat shield that needed to be drilled out. This is the season opener for me. Too bad the rear brake looks bigger than the front  time for new front brakes!

did you get them off of ebay?...i was just looking at a set of front rotors with ceramic pads for like 80 bucks...i might go with 2001+ GTS rotors in the front but i havent decided yet.....aslo...would i be able to buy all the parts i need for a rear disc conversion from a dealership? anyone have all the part numbers for the parts i would need by anychance?...i think that would be my best bet because i would be 100% sure everything is new...thanks guys

I just kept watch in the buying/selling forums here. I got my rotors from nopi - brembo blanks. and X-drilled i think he means cross drilled. |
