RX8 Mini Project

After the sway bar and links were taken care of, next up were some brakes. The stock brakes are good on the rx8, but for some autocross, I wanted a bit more bite.

I installed some Hawk HP pads, Stoptech rotors, russell ss lines and speed bleeders. I had to replace my passenger rear caliper all together due to a frozen bleeder - I hate working on northern cars.

To top it off, I coated the calipers with G2 caliper paint and flushed the whole system and now run AP550 race fluids...
