Brake Upgrade Thread

I had some camera issues getting the photos to my PC, so it looks like it'll be a weak update.

I did however finish after having to replace a rear caliper dealing with the not so fun G2 paint system.

My overall impressions are that its a big improvement over stock. I think the best part is the pedal feel from the SS lines. The rotors are ok, although, they do seem to rust up more than expected for coated rotors.

The G2 caliper paint was ridiculous. I did everything by the book and its not the first time I've done this sort of thing. After curing for two days they were still a little "tacky" to the touch, but they were ok to mount. After being driven, they had hardened more and I could wash them off without any issues.

I've only put about 45 miles on the whole thing since install so I havent had a chance to really test them out, but I will be at DGRR next month so that should be a decent enough test!

Here is a pic of them mounted up and done, but before they were driven on:
