Heck he had them for sale for a long time! I about bought them last August or so. When he posted them up again I still had to restrain for a couple weeks. I just couldn't pass them up.

Finished it up today. Bleeding the brakes was a PITA. 12 damn individual bleeders in these things. Went through them all twice along with completely flushing the system. I've only had it out long enough to bed the brakes. It was all worth it. Stops MUCH better and much better pedal feel.

Difference in the brake pedals.


Not digging the red. Will probably paint them at sometime.

Just looking at the pictures and wouldn't you want the front rotors on the other way? If you look at the pattern cut into the rotors, you would think that if you put it the other way it would cut into the pad better for braking power. I've never had slotted brakes so I don't know. But then again the way you have them installed, I can see how they would cool better since they would have a tendency to "sling" out the hot gasses from a hard stop for faster cooling. Not knockin' ya, just an observation
