brake upgrades and LCA's

[SilentScope]

Did the LCA's with BMR and put SS lines, Rotors, and HPS pads on.

Painted the calipers with Dark silver on the caliper and Aluminum silver on the pad retainer. Clear coated them all too. two tone look that i was going for.

Calipers seem more gray than silver, in person, theyre quite lighter.

Looks really good with those rotors.

Which brand rotors did you go with

Which brand rotors did you go with

Yeah, where did you get them, how much, etc please! The pads and the rotors.

 

[SilentScope]

pads are hawk HPS

the rotors, i dont know what brand, i got them from JD'sperformance. pm artsperformance
they were 205$ for the front and 195$ for the back. I looked on ebay and stuff but none of them were good. these are zinc plated so the will not rust.

braking is much better with these pads and rotors. the SS lines firm up the brake pedal.

really happy with it all.

Got to have rust proof rotors! Nice Cliff.

 

[INDESTRUCTIBLE]

if your vanes arnt straight then you put the Rotors on the wrong way.

so they're on the wrong way?!

LCA's make a huge difference on launching. no more wheel hop and they help the tires do their job properly

 

[Barricade]

odds are yeah....flip sides or check your vanes inside your rotor.
As they spin the vanes should scoop the air inward toward the middle cooling the rotors.

Unless like I said they are a brand that has straight vanes in which case the rotor can be
mounted either way.

most are curved to allow a cooling of the brakes.

 

[SilentScope]

well shit. haha

ive read that it makes no difference?

anyways, im busy dealing with my stripes because they are stained. Ford/shelby are bitches to deal with. here come the lawyers

Just added these to my Christmas wish list. They look great, really interested in how they grip/feel. Tired of my stockers wearing out over and over.

 

[SilentScope]

Liz, they havent even "bedded" in with the pads yet and its already a very noticable improvement over stock. My old man took the car for a drive and even he said he could feel the improvement. Im really happy with it all.

Very nice! Keep up the great work!

Very nice! Keep up the great work!

im loving the control arms.

PS: i didnt have instructions to install them, they seem tight and good but just to make sure: the ball knuckle side attaches to the axle and the poly bearing attached to the chassis right? and the side that is flush faces faces outwards?

 

[stealthguy3]

looks great!
