Q8y's painted Akebono's :D
Here's some pics of them getting installed. The color is actually a mix of several different shades of blue. The end result is something similar to Candy Blue but not quite. Anyhow, here's the pics>>

Install took roughly 2 hours. So far they feel great! So much smoother than the stock single pistons. |
Sweet. :BOOBIES:
|
nice! although, wont the rear dust shield kinda stick out? cosmetics wise of course
|
Nice. The shade looks very similar to Athen Blue IMO. Looks good!
|
Professionally painted or did you DIY? I like that color.
Set that rear bar to max stiffness bro :) |

E-Ticket Ride, Yeah I'm thinking of switching out to the stiffer setting :D Gotta grease the bushings first. They're so full of crap. The brakes are professionally painted of course. |
Wow nice job on the dust shields, thats pretty straight. I just cut mine off lol
|
did you bleed the brake fluid an put new fluid. I was at my friends shop the other day and he told me that you should bleed the brakes before installing a BBK
|
Any pix with the wheels on? :) looks good.
|
looks good. would look even better with some slotted rotors :D
|
Sweet dude, i love them, more reason's to hate you now :p.
Edit: I would love to see them in person, might meet you on Saturday at the dyno or anywhere else. |

|

|
Very nice. Can't wait to see pics with the wheels on.
