sorry for the crappy iphone pic, took me a little around 4 hours to do it all by myself in my garage but got it done. install went pretty good but i think my master cylinder decided to take a crap on me right afterwards spent most of the day trying to diagnose why i was having hardly any pedal and major pedal fade and still havent seen any leaks, bled the system atleast 4-5 times and there are definitely no air pockets anywhere, thought it could be the crush washers on the ss lines but checked them and tightened them down a 1/4 turn more to ensure that they were tight and still have the same problem. anyone got any ideas or should i just replace the master cylinder?

Damn good contrast as expected! Everything flows extremely well.

got the brake pedal problem resolved, bled the abs system this morning and then cracked open the inner bleeders on the calipers again and sure enough there was still some air in the system.. got it all bled again and everything works perfect, definitely happy and satisfied with the new braking power. more pics will be coming soon once its nice outside again and isnt raining so i can get some good pics taken

great contrast, I like it. Akebonos are pretty sweet, the rotor weight sucks though.

ya im definitely liking the additional stopping power, but yes the weight of the rotors does suck but i just cant justify spending the $$ for 2 piece rotors since i dont track the car or anything like that
