Brake Kit Installed

Some of you know I've had this brake kit for a while now. I was wearing down my OEM junk while this stuff sat in my house. I finally got it installed and now my brakes look and more importantly stop much better.

Powdercoated NSX and CL calipers with 80% gloss powder, Rotorpros zinc coated drilled and slotted rotors, EBC greenstuff, Rotara stainless steal break lines, and super blue racing brake fluid.

Its no front and rear BBK, but I'm happy ...

With the combination of my rotors and brake lines I cant narrow it down to how the calipers feel. They look great, two pistons are always better than one. I can tell you it clamps harder and I like the response from the pedal due to the stainless steal brake lines.

I dont mind the green pads. This black and green go good together. If had say...red calipers then I wouldnt like the greenstuff. I have much more brakedust on my wheels now then I did with stock parts, I laugh at the fact EBC claims otherwise.

maybe its just the break in period? These are Ravi's old calipers and I read in old threads he had greenstuff pads too with minimal break dust. This is my first brake upgrade ever and I have less than 100 miles on this set up now so in time the dust problem might change

Yeah, its just the breakin period. My greenstuffs have pretty much mellowed out with its dusting. For the first ~300 miles it was pretty dirty though.
