hows the braking feel/power??? love your new mods

mister_roger · 03-01-2008, 01:47 AM

Niiiiice. Did you have to do anything else to get those brakes to fit, or were they just bolt on?

DIY?

BlackSapphireZ · 03-01-2008, 01:52 AM

brake is a bolt on if you have the carrier as well.

DIY? do you really need it. its simple as changing your pads and rotors...with one extra step of removing the brake line.

it brakes tooo well in the front lol without anything connected to it, it loves to grab and engage the ABS but everyday driving, its absolute must. I added a lot of weight by adding the wheels and brakes help compensate for it.

BlackSapphire, what tire sizes are you running and is your car setup with stock suspension, sport package, or has it been lowered? I'm thinking of putting M wheels on my 07 coupe with sport suspension and want to make sure I won't have rub problems. Thanks for the help and sorry for the hijack.

BlackSapphireZ · 03-02-2008, 05:33 PM

it's oem size and sport sus.

I rubbed a little when i went through a deep bump(concave)

Dammmittt · 03-02-2008, 06:37 PM

Now you gotta do the hood, bumper, exhaust and diffuser.

Black///Mamba · 03-02-2008, 08:51 PM

looks great. de-badge would make it look real nice

BlackSapphireZ · 03-02-2008, 09:14 PM

2.5 badge has been there since sept 03...if i took it off now, i'll see a darker 2.5i behind it lol

not getting all the rest
