Well put on my new front rotors, pads, and painted the calipers yellow. Haven't driven on them too much still braking (get it braking) them in, but I do notice the lack of warpage now which sure is nice. When i took off the old pads, the driver side pad on the piston side was really worn down almost gone where as the outer pad was still pretty thick. Passenger side pads were nice and evenly worn. When it gets lighter out I will post a pic. Tonight or tomorrow night I will put on the rears.

Yep ZFR is gone!
Decided I really was t interested in much more power from a fwd. not the headaches that go with it. Looking to get into the rwd scene in the next few years and want to save money for that vs spending more on the Balt.

Well I got the rear brakes on now too, and got that Trans mount fixed 1 missing bolt and one of the others was loose. used some super tight loctite we use at work and gobbed the **** out of the bolts and torqued em up real good. They should not ever come out again. Liking the new brakes especially the lack of shaking in the wheel now.

Installed my Powell bar today. Wasn't much fun on the driveway. Also realized I can't torque it unless I buy a 1/2" socket or converter. Great planning.

Nope. Changed jobs and now need to spend a bunch on tools so still haven't ordered tires.

Been trying to find a decent used set. But seems like most my size are on wheels and no one wants to separate them.

I work for Funk's Autobody in Steinbach. These guys are perfectionists. I love it. If any of you ever need an MPI claim done I'd recommend our shop to anyone.

Doesn't seem like it'd be super torque sensitive.
