Dude, those rotors are huge... I had to hold them up to the wheels to make sure they'd fit.

:laugh:



I know, I have a enough tread left... but I'm thinking after the Autox... I won't want to drive home on them.....

Get a trailer and forget about it... tired sick or broken car, just load it up and go.... :D

Did you know that Bruce sells tires????

I was thinking of doing my calipers red. It wouldn't flow with the color of the rest of the car (so I thought) until I saw two red flags over at my gym in perfect location in front of the sides of the wheels as I was walking up to my car.

You get the idea...the red was there against the rims and it actually looked kinda cool. I'm going to give it some thought.

The pics don't show it was well but the red is just a tad darker then RED... It's more of an American flag red... or fire engine red.

here's what they look like on the rear.

In the interim, just get you a red Sharpie for the front ones.

Looks great

Yes the tricky part is the fluid flush. Getting all the old fluid out of the abs was a pain.

Actually, in drag racing, if the other guy don't line up, don't you have to run anyways for the win?

I never saw any vid's of PQ on the strip :D
