Smile Brakes n Fire Station

New f-body brakes are done... equipped with a 12" rotor, SS lines, painted aluminum calipers and chrome caliper brackets of course :-) Also some pics from the fire station!

Great `Mod 4-Sure + Great safety Upgrade...
What was your estimated cost for parts ? What was your estimated time to install your upgrade ?

Also, thanks for your 600 + Posts to the MCF...

i spent $75 on my f-body calipers/brackets/SS lines off clubGP

another $200 + - for the rotors/pads 30 minutes for the install (1 week for the paint job to cure, and 10 seconds for the installer to ruin the paint on the passenger side....drivers side looks great though
!)

I paid 150 for the calipers, brake pads =30, new rotors = 130, SS lines = 60, chromed caliper brackets = 180 (ouch), About 2 hours to install (not including paint time), but I cleaned everything up real nice and took my time for install, pretty easy install though and def worth it!
