    Finally found the time to install my F-Body brakes that I had gotten a while ago when my brakes were getting bad. OMG what a difference, I love how they look and perform . Well here are some pics, tell me what you think.

    Here's how they looked all cleaned up and prepped before painting.




    After painting and decals[].





    And here's them on the car, it was a little rainy out so excuse the dirty tires.

    Welcome to the club. It is definitely a great upgrade. Did you spring for the SS lines? They make it even that much better!

    Nope no SS lines here, didn't feel like spending the extra money for them. How much of a difference do they make?

    those look framiliar. ss lines all around and f-body calipers here, if your going to get the stainless lines get the goodridge ones, they are alot better, too many stories of ss lines leaking. I wish i knew this before i ordered them. As far as braking didnt notice a difference really...with the lines. They just seem more durable. On another note SS lines are too long. Whats with that crashed GP in the background?

    It's my junker car that I got off ebay. I basically just bought it for the polished torque stars and it's trans and have been slowly parting out the rest of it.

    I pieced together the entire set (calipers, rotors, pads) for about $160-170 .

    Umm...somewhere on Ebay lol. I've had these decals for quite a while now so I don't really remember.

    Well they look nice, I want the same type of Calipers but with drilled slotted rotors, I already have new ceramic brake pads.

    I've got the stock wheels with tires off an 04' GT if your interested .
