Got my rotors and Earl's brake lines in today. All I'm waiting on are my Axxis ultimates to come in and I'll be one step closer to carving up the Auto-X track Just wanted to share (I know whoppity-doo).




Update

OK got all my goodies installed today and took a couple of quick pics. I personally think they look great but I know some people will disagree. It was raining today and the roads were wet so I wasn't able to get a really good "feel" for my new setup.

Please keep in mind that I was not interested in a "big brake" setup as I will be remounting my Si's. Also I'm aware of some of the downfalls associated w/ drilled rotors. I'll deal w/ it and thanks for your concern.

Fronts:


Rears:

Disclaimer: Above picture in not "JDM" approved.

My car is filthy so I didn't take any whole car shots. I'll try to get some cleaned up pics this weekend if the weather permits. Up next are remounting my Si's and LCA's.


Note: This is not a DIY. I paid and it's the best $200.00 I've spent in a long time.

Fronts are Brembos, rear are Rotoras

 

 

let us know the improvements!! sure will look nice behind the wheels. I need some of that!!

 

just make sure to wrap a bit of fuel line insulation around the brake lines and zip tie it to your suspension so it doesnt rub metal to metal and rip a hole through them.

Good tip. Thanks.

 

They should have mounts so it follows the same path as OEM lines. My Goodridge lines have them...

 

Yes they do. I'm actually not installing them (I don't fuss w/ brakes) and the guy doing the work is real good so I'm sure he'll hook it up

 

Also if anyone has any suggestions as far as brake fluid post them up.

 

looks good man, surprised nobody flipped any **** yet, you know, with you being such a ******** and all

how much did the whole shabang run ya?

Hmmm I'm not really sure why I have the reputation on here. I'm going to have to work on being a kinder gentler person Parts total ran around $400.00 or so (w/pads). I try not to think about it

 

Glad to see you kept your car and decided to put it to good use. I would get smaller wheels if you already havent for autocrossing.

o yeah. Nice brakes. I use super blue brake fluid.

ss brake lines actually make a difference

 

I run ATE SuperBlue fluid and know many other auto-xers and road racers that do as well.
