My 12 inch brake upgrade. Pics inside.

I wanted to do the 12 inch upgrade ever since I got 18s. Over the past few months i've been pinching pennies so i have been shelling out little by little to gather what i need. I bought a set of zinc plated 12" drilled and slotted rotors for up front and a set of 11" stock zinc plated drilled and slotted for the rear. The drilled and slotted was for aesthetics only, it looks awesome behind an open spoke wheel. Along with that I went to the Pick-n-Pull in Kansas City and managed to find 2 caliper brackets, granted they were from two different cars, they were the same part. I got them from a Park Avenue and a Riviera at 4.99 a piece. I was cheap and decided to reuse my old pads since they were pretty new, regardless here are before and after.

Thanks! Yea i know the calipers are bland, i used the crappy duplicolor kit. I need to actually take them off and paint them or get them powdercoated.
