Default Brake Project Update..Completed. Here are some pics.

First, thanks to everyone who helped me with this project. I had to go back to my stock wheels because my wheels wouldn't clear the calipers with the new pads even with my 8mm spacers <argh>. I put BBS Cross Drilled/Slotted Rotors in the front, OEM's in the rear and Mintex Reds all around. Oh yeah, I tossed an RS4 Grill on for the hell of it. Had the brakes bled at Pep Boys, total cost $445 plus shipping cost. The wife said that's it for mods, I said yeah, after this weekend I swear ;-)

No, I didn't use the Super Blue!

This one goes on the right side correct? ;-)

The finished product, less my 18's. Damn I hate these tires!!

Ohhhh...with the badge, I love this grill.

Default Mintex Reds are no good. :-\

Lasted less than 15 laps on my 2600lb race car! Chunked off going into a heavy 100+ --&gt; ~35 mph turn. Thought I completely lost my brakes... I wouldn't use them for anything more than casual street driving.

YMMV...

Yeah that's why I didn't use it, I just went with OEM stuff. I'll put in Motul on the next flush.

Is it easier to bleed the brakes with that bleeder or a Motive bleeder?
