Finally installed my Brembo's on my V6 painted by Showstoppers.

Didn't know whether to post this in here or the brakes section so i am posting it here but this is not only a cosmetic mod these brembo's are awesome

took me about 8 hours taking my time and few breaks, I am happy with the end result (other than my bloody knuckles and skinned knees) they look awesome behind the polished wheels and it brakes like I have never seen before it stops on a dime.

Here are some pics with my cell phone.

Looks great I did this mod over a year ago IMHO one of the best mode for the V6.

The color is called jet stream blue straight out of the ZR1 Corvette, I got the calipers from a member here and sent them to showstopper on St. Charles Illinois and he took care of the painting

All you need to get is calipers, disks and brake lines from a SS, the only modification needed is to cut the dust shields on the rear so the larger disks fit.

Looks awesome man. Did you keep the stock brake lines? I love that shade of blue Showstoppers does. I did my V6 not too long ago, but a different blue.
