Didn't I tell you I was gonna buy them, paint them and install them well before you even decide on a paint for yours? haha

 

nice paint dude! looks sweet now pics with them on the car

 

OMG! You have a scratch! See? Right there, see it? over there!

j/k

Looks great! Can't wait to see it with the wheels on.

On the shields, i just trimmed the lip on mine, works just fine plus it retains the "shield" aspect.

Did you have any issues with CZP's lines? Mine only came with one bracket for the front, so there's a lot of slack on the lines.

 

Damn that looks nice, we need finished pics NOW!!

 

^+1
moar pix please

 

lol yeah true,

But so far I've gotten them painted lol s that's a step in th right direction

BTW how do the brakes feel compared to the oem ones? Does the car feel heavier or anything? also did you get the oem rotors?

 

I'm trying to get new pics guys really. I spent an hour yesterday night cleaning the wheels and soon afterward we had a sandstorm around mid night and we're still stuck in it lol :P

soundmike, where? :P the CZP lines came with a bracket for each front line. PM Coz@CZP I'm sure he can get you a replacement line.

Defratos, the rotors and pads are OEM. I couldn't afford aftermarket rotors and pads ATM so I'll just use these till more options come out So far they feel great. Much smoother with better modulation. I agree with whoever said that the front has a bit more bias compared to OEM. I can feel it very very slightly when coming to a stop. Bite is about the same maybe a hair better. Once I get aftermarket pads and rotors the brakes should grab even better.

 

Cool I'm thinking of doing the same oem pads and rotors for now, money is shrinking fast lol, good luck with the sand storm, we had it last week and I'm still trying to clean all th sand out, it gets into every damn nook and cranny

 

You can do Stoptechs for only a few bucks more than OE
& you'll have some nice slotted rotors.

 

TBH, after reading here and there and everywhere, it appears that both our stock S brake system and the Akebono performance is the same if your driving in the city, the only difference is when tracking both cars, upgrading S brake system is good, some SS lines and good brake fluid, but Akebono looks like a real kick @ss cool calipers behind the Volk GTF, also they give the car the aggresive look and the feel of pretty fast car, now you need an S/C to complete the look.

 

right there!

I do have one bracket each for the front, but there's just too much slack on the lines. I pm'd him a while back about it to suggest modifying the kit moving forward.

*ahem*

T/C with IC! Can't see the S/C

 

BTW Q8y are the Akebono Decals stencils or stickers?

 

finished pics

 

Looks good, nice choice of color!

 

Stencils, proudly make in Q8, lol .
