The brakes cost about 1/4th of what the car is worth... must be nice to have money to throw around like that. Don't get me wrong, I love your brakes, but slotted rotors, pads, SS lines, caliper paint, and good fluid would have probably netted you the same results, though you wouldn't have rear discs.

Good job though. :D

I thought about doing that for a short time, but didn't think it would look right with the 19" rims, that and like you said, I wouldn't have had the rear discs.

Whoa, nice job. I didn't know PBC had an e-brake conversion. That solves one problem right there.

Thanks for the comments, good or bad. We can't all like the same things and I wouldn't want us to either!!! Just have fun personalizing your ride!!

Hopefully you ditched your spare tire as it is now worthless. Might as well ditch the jack too...
