Skuruc....they need to be turned before they can completely compress. Without the rotation they will stick out like they currently are

No, there is no compressing it. END OF STORY. You have to screw the piston in, turning it clockwise, like a normal bolt. How can we make you understand this better?

That part i didn't know it screwed in i was under the impression i had to turn it to bleed it and not to turn it to make it go back in.

Ok... first off (I thought this was common sense) don't get in under your head in something you don't know how to do.

Every car is different. I never did the brakes on this car so its a learning experience. I'd rather try something myself, fail, learn from it and better myself. Then when the next guy has a question, I wont bash him cause I'd know i have been in his shoes before. Dont act like you've never failed at anything.

Its not that I never failed at anything, I LISTENED to the people giving me advice. When people lay it out plain as day, I took it up and learned.

So, I understand you thought you needed to screw the piston in to bleed them. Thats not right. You need to screw them in so you can reset the piston. When you do that, it should make sense. It may have popped out a bit, so screw it back in.

LMAO sorry guys I've been busy. I have my day off tomorrow and tell him that I have atleast 5 cars for them to do.

Honestly, I think if Vince will go decently aggressive with it, he will see about 310-320.

yes window tinting is legal but there are rules.....

1. if you want to go darker then 30% behind the driver and passenger windows you are allowed to have only up to 50% on the drivers and passenger front windows

2. you can have up to 30% behind the drivers and passenger windows and 35% on the driver and passenger side front windows.

btw someone find me a used oem style carbon fiber hood and trunk lol.......

5% is hard to see out of at night..... im honestly very happy with my tint. 45% on the sides and 35% on the back..

the thing is if you get a really good quality tint...the lighter shades will block out just as much light as a darker shade where as the cheap stuff you need to get the dark stuff to block any sun rays.

I had what I THINK was 25% on my Z, and I absolutely loved it, but it very well could have been 35%.
