Time for an upgrade...

i bet you thought this was gona be another "its time to move on" or "picked this up for cheap" or "totaled my CL" thread....well you would be WRONG! haha. decided to up my stopping power a bit with some legend calipers. these are to be accompanied by some brembo blanks and full SS brake lines.

got em from rock auto for 60 dollars no core charge...they came with 28T brackets so i had to buy some 25T brackets also. then i picked up some G2 caliper paint and the decals off ebay. the whole setup with rotors and SS lines will only run me ab $300. moving into a new house in june so im penny pinching for closing costs etc until then. look for some completed and installed pic by early july...perhaps sooner.

thanks guys...a little footnote on the goodridge SS lines...the threaded female connection which threads onto the hardline is deeper on the goodridge line than the stock rubber line...for me this meant using a wire brush to clean up the exposed threads on the hardline fitting before threading it into the goodridge line...as they were corroded and would not thread/seal well...initially i didnt do this and had a leak.

thank you...this is definitely the best mod ive done so far...id say the bang for the buck stopping power is top notch...pedal feels very solid and stopping power is strong. the HOR design was a pain to work with...but you were smart enough to the the ROH conversion...it would b a snap.
