What to look for before install BBK ??
Morning fellows, i finally got rid of my stoptech 4 pot and got a set of 355mm 6 pot rotora...but i have debating wheater to install it myself or have a shop to do it for me, i have never done anything like this, and also this is the biggest safety part on car I really not sure what to do yet, and I am just wondering how long does it take to put the front bbk on? what differences on stopping power and pedal feel should I feel which is normal? is it necessary to flush or Bled the whole brake system ?
thanks for any input

You'll see the biggest difference when you do repeated hard stops; the pedal feel will be more consistant.

cool~ and also...i found out that after i swapped my OEM 18 to Volk 19s...when I pedal the brake, I feel like my WHOLE CAR is vibrating/shaking, it seems like there aren't enough stopping power, what might causes this? any clue?

on a serious note, your brakes are only as good as your tires will be. something to keep in mind.
