Steeda heel toe pedal
Gloc R10 pads

Getting ready to install my Aeroforce gauge and boost sensor today. Got the wheel off, liner out, pillar trim out. Waiting for my son to come wire it up. I'm not fucking with it, lol.

Finally found my damn squeak! Turns out it the sheet metal rubbing against each other. Specifically where the rear shelf sheet metal meets the c pillar. Bent it out some on the bottom, shoved in some dynomat and beat it back flat. On the top, I wedged dynomat into the crevice. Gone. Finally. Holy crap.

Ordered new front seat leather covers and foam. Gonna restore my driver side (pass still looks new). If the fiancé said I need to do it, it must really be looking rough lol

In which car?
Cuz you still have the Shelby too, right?
Do you even drive that thing at all anymore?

In the Bullitt. It's got that trim ring around the vent and I think the vents plastic has shrunk a little that clips into the trim. It may just need a dab of hot glue to see if it stops it.

The Shelby just sits in storage at my parents house since I do not have room at my house. Been going back and forth on selling that and the Corvette lately though for that reason of not driving them.

If you're not gonna drive them, then you should definitely sell.
Own the memories that you had them, drove them, enjoyed them, and move on, let somebody else enjoy them.
And you could probably use that $100k+ for the house, no?

I replaced my base front brakes with Brembo brakes today. It was an easy swap for the most part.

Cam,

If your not really using them and they are simply sitting/stored I say get rid of them.

Use the dollars for something else you would get some use out of.

I recently picked up some Brembo calipers still new in the box. Any input on pads or discs? I do have some low mileage stainless braided lines off my Bullitt I can use.

I used oem gt500 rotors, lines and new oem pads. I will get better rotors eventually.

The OEM '13-'14 Track Pack pads are actually really good.
If you must go aftermarket, for street use I'd highly recommend Hawk HPS pads. I installed them in my fiancee's Shelby front and rear last spring, they've been great. Low dust and no noise either.
I'm at about 39k miles on my car and the front pads are still going strong.

The GT500 rotors and pads is what I'm running right now, but I'm going to go to the HPS pad this spring. Less brake dust.
