I've got NRG polished hood dampers and a black aluminum NISMO shift **** on the way and thanks to JaE35, I should have a pop charger in week or so. Looks like I'm about done with all the cheap mods. Next up is either fixing up the engine bay or new rear bumper and trunk...

Everyone with brembos - watch this vid... YES - its THAT easy.. and you DONT need no tool to press the pistons back.. Thats on the OEM 2 piston crap...not the Brembo..

I just meant you need that tool for the 2 piston.. not the brembo.... I know the 2 pistons work well. I used to have them before getting brembo..

Here is what I use to compress the pistons on the Brembo calipers - I leave the pad in and either open the brake fluid reservoir (like in the video above) or open the bleeder screw (attached to a drain bottle) and then just start squeezing! The tool already has soft plasti-rubber touch points ... done!

Here are pics of this weekend's work. Little here and there. Ignore the front bumper.....paint is chipping and needs repainted (all in good time I guess).

Jon do you compress the pistons with the calipers still attached or do you unbolt them? I always just pull the calipers off on all brakes just seems easier to me

Yes I compress the pistons while the caliper is still attached ... with that ratchet clamp it's super easy and erases the need to pull the calipers off!

When I was switching out my project mu pads for track events I had to find a faster and easier way! With enough wheel clearance, I've sometimes been able to swap pads without removing wheels but later decided the extra 15 minutes to put on jack stands and remove wheels was quickly made up in the ease of swapping out the pads!
