Brake upgrade was my first mod. Well worth it!

One thing to note, make sure you check for rubbing on the ss lines after you install and turn the wheels all the way in both direction.

My install went perfect, except I did not align the new lines just right on the calipers, which in turn left them just a little too close to the wheel when I made a sharp turn, and they rubbed. I caught it quick, but it started to wear the plastic coating off a little. Could have worn through the line eventually.

i had my front brakes done about a week and a half ago and when I drove home from the shop I heard some rattling comin from the front bottom of the car. i took the car back to the same shop the next day and the technician took both front wheels back off and checked all the bolts and everything to make sure they were tight, then he found out that the bottom pin had some play and that was makin the rattling sound over bumps. i asked him if he could fix it and he said dont worry about it cuz it was common and it should stop with a lil bit more time for the new pads to break in. i think he was full of shit
