upgraded the brakes on My 01


Well, Since the weather was crappy today, My wife was busy studying, and  for the last 3 months the brakes have been hammering with the brake parts just sitting for a Month, I finally had the time to fix them today. The Before pics:




Now the Upgraded Brakes. I used the Summit Racing drilled and slotted rotors and Hawk Ferro Carbon Brake pads.

While I was there, I wire wheeled the struts and control arms to get the loose rust off. Then Painted the suspension. All I can say it I should have done this when I got the car! It stops on a dime and gives you 3 cent change!  Now if only the weather would be nicer, I could do a complete detail on it. Cause it is filthy!!!

Thank you, The rotors were about $60 each, not very much more than regular rotors. But the ones for the 83 might be more because of the hub. I got them through Summit.
