^^^Appreciate the advice and will look into it.
Do yourself a favor and get a Motive pressure bleeder. Mine has worked perfectly on every vehicle I have ever used it on (including my 05 GT) and it allows a single person to perfectly bleed and flush the brake system. Because of the constant flow out of the caliper (versus the short pulse you get with the "pump, pump, HOLD!" method of bleeding the brakes), you tend to flush out smaller air bubbles with ease. Well worth the money IMO.
Do you have the model number for the Motive Bleeder? I am finding a few variations in a google search.
Thanks
Just to add my but my dad and I did this the other weekend on his 08' GT. Found a guy last December who upgraded his 11' to the Brembo's so we got a great deal on his parts. Got both rotors, calipers, brackets and pads for $150. Went ahead and got a set of SS lines as well. Straight forward of course as any brake swap is.
The initial bite isn't exactly up to what we were expecting. Not bad or anything don't get me wrong, just thought it would be better. That's probably due to me not doing my part as well as I should on bleeding the brakes. Will be doing them again soon. Now the stopping power/distance is noticeably better. I noticed that it felt better than what my factory 07' brakes felt. I guess the best way to put it is its better than what they were before but not quite where my 12' brakes are. Again, will be bleeding again probably to get it there.
Edit: Pics not working. Will update tonight.
