Upgrade time (pics)

Well after my Monte developed a pulsation during brakeing, I decided it was time to upgrade the front brakes. $260 later I had some EBC ultimax rotors and Hawk ceramic pads. I also cleaned and painted all 4 calipers while it was apart and flushed out all the old brake fluid.

The goodies

stock top, ultimax bottom

rotor mounted and bracket on

finished product

painted caliper shots

**** those are really really nice. Quite a bit of hooch for just one axle though. Where'd you buy from?

got them from autoanything.com free shipping and they price match.

ALSO. I never knew they offered 6th gen montes without ABS. I have put 15,000 miles on this car and just realized today that it has no ABS. No speed sensors, and the brake lines run straight to the master cylinder.
