Cool that would be awesome |
Well finally got the rear brakes installed!!! Only took 3 days lol. At first I had to wait for a new oil seal to come in for the rear end because they sent in the wrong one. Secondly the nut off the calipers ebrake mechanis wasn't fun to deal with, I had to take it back to the place that I had them rebuilt to get it off. A bit of heat and a good impact wrench got it off though, then lastly today I was hoping to just go outside bleed the brakes, and fill out the diff again with new oil, but turns out that the one fitting was stripped, so I had fun taking it out and putting a new one in.
I'll get some pictures as soon as it stops raining but look good overall. The car doesn't dive as much with the bigger rear brake and stock front https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif I just hope that these wheels fit in the front because i don't think I have that much more room. Maybe 1/2"... |
Looks sexy.Love that color.

I meant caliper clearance inside the wheel https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif ... Don't worry I'll make it work with 8's in the front. The interesting thing is with having just the back big brakes now the care barely dives under heavy breaking, I'm talking like 1/2" at the most ... I'm sure that the rears aren't meant to take that much load but it would be benificial with the new wheels that i'm getting in the front so it doesn't hit the rubber. |
i think they have done this on newer cars, just to keep them from diving under braking. it seems like most new cars wear the REAR pads first, and i guess with abs, it really doesnt matter if the bias is "screwed up"

The t2 brakes seems pretty close to size all around ... not sure how this will effect things |
Well just a quick update on here, running the r888 on my last event at cayuga, i was about 4 seconds quicker in the damp then I was in the dry with my old tires on. Also found out that my front sway bar holder is broken also so not sure how much time that would of gave me.
