Mine are still a bit spongy - 2-piece fronts, Hawk HPS5.0 pads, Z1 lines, and ATE 200 fluid. Probably should re-bleed.

Stopping distance is good though LOL.

 

Rears too, huh? That's expensive, but the rear sprinkle-slot 2-piece are really, really cool looking.

Congrats, backman.

 

It was a tough decision to hit that "Place Order" button! I just didn't want to have any regrets down the road, no pun intended.

 

^^You doing the work yourself? Can you take a pic of the parking brake shoes once the rotors are off?

 

Yeah my father and I will be doing it in his shop in a couple weeks I hope. I'll get the pictures for ya.

 

Spent the last week installing my Redline armrest pad and shift boot. Haven't decided which was the bigger pain.
Getting the fitment of the pad right took a couple days of fidgeting. Then a couple more days of glueing the edges in sections.
The boot was easy.... once I got the bastard shift **** off. Really wanted to save the original. Had to have my gorilla brother come over and we took turns holding the vise grips on the shaft, while the other turned the **** with a strap wrench.
Pretty happy with the results. Now just have to wait for the snow to stop so I can drive it.

 

Got a new starter as I think my OEM one is rattling..well the Bosch reman is very bad, never heard a starter sound like this. Almost like a Gixxer starter hah...

aaand price went up $50 so I can't even exchange it for the same part well guess I'll buy a different one.

 

Just replaced two engine air filters. Old ones were sooo dirty it's not even funny. Folks, change your engine filters regularly.

 

Any of Y'all ever used these rotors and pads?

Seems like as a bundle I'd save $60 vs separated.

 

I've never heard of DuraGo but seems like they have decent reviews, should be fine.

 

Technically not today, but last week.
Did a little maintenance work before hitting the track again last Friday.
Took care of the heater hose coupler that blows up due to heat, mine came in out 15-20 pieces. I didn't drain the coolant as the connector is at a high point and I wouldn't lose much coolant(I didn't). Just followed it up with a quick bleed. Also added a set of SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts along with a GKTech lockout kit for the camber arms. Will be selling the other two lock out bolts if anyone is interested.

Nothing wrong with the rotors but I'm partial to the pads I run, Stoptech 309s. Pads is where all the feel and bite come from.

 

Did you do the one on the other side too? one of them blew up on the highway and left me stranded, i did the other one later and it broke into 30 chunks

 

There's two of these MF'ers!? I just replaced the passenger side one. I'll have to check for the other one sometime this week.

 

I only have one in my car.
