Post by: Jeff Seabrook on Saturday, August 28, 2004 - 04:16 PM

Here they are -- intstall takes about 25 minutes each side, rotors and pads. Instructions, tools required will be posted soon as a 'tech tutorial'

I wanted to look at your install, but I can't open the attached pictures. Is that normal, now?

I'll fix it - it's probably a permission error - get that fixed real quick.

how much did this help your stopping distance?

It's better, no brake fade at all - never have even got nervous, no brake dust at all, quiet, and once the pads are warmed up, they stick to the rotors like glue - that's how organic's work. But, you must have good tires on the car - the more resistance to the road, means that you can press the pedal farther without lockup...that's equally important. I'm running Kumho Ecsta 711 - 215/45/17 - won't change to another tire again.
