A lot of hard work, but finally I got it done and the kit itself was a great deal too! I haven't noticed any improvement in braking performance, but I guess I just have to wait for the calipers to break in.

I even included a DIY in case you guys wanted to do the same to your cars.... let me know what you think!





Here's the website I got them from. They're not a sponsor or anything, but this is just a gallery to show you guys what BBKs they offer. They even have Endless BBKs too!

I can't tell if this is a joke or not...

My friend sent me a link to those, I didn't think they were actually real.

You're kidding me, right? I paid $49.99 for the kit. Its the real damn deal alright?

I can't wait to cut my braking distances into the double digits. I want to feel my face getting ripped off when I stomp on the brake pedal.

With that kit, don't you automatically call it a 10-pot kit....?

(meaning you smoked a dime bag) :wink:

Nice!

I figured it wasn't your car from the pictures, who would remove the hub/rotor/caliper to install these? that is WAY to much work to install something like that.
