Brake time

[Zero_chance]

So I finally completed the PBR dual piston caliper upgrade on my car the other day... what a difference. I honestly wasnt really thinking Id be able to tell the difference but I got the calipers and brackets for 50 bucks so I wasnt going to pass it up. Now that I did the swap though, wow does it stop on a dime. Still using stock rotors but a plus side is that my original rotors were warped and the guy included two replacement rotors in the price. Total spent was 75 dollars after I bought the fine thread banjo bolts. I also ordered the stainless steel flex lines for 90 but Im not so sure if Im going to put them on or just send them back.

Yeah like I said I wasnt so sure theyd make THAT much of a difference but the first time I got on the brakes... you can tell. You wont be dissapointed. Only mod youll have to do is grind a tiny bit of metel off the stock spindle. I can send you a link to a pic that shows exactly what you need to do if you want.

This is a pretty good site about the upgrade. The pic Im referring to is linked in the number four step. Having done it, Ill tell you one thing though, dont just immediately hack of the 5 mm that they say you need to. I put the bracket on the spindle, then mocked the caliper up to where it would sit normally and you can see the two spots that need to be touched up. And I found that you only need to take off about 3mm. And one bonus of my setup I bought is the guy who had them before me painted the calipers red and brackets black so it looks pretty sharp. Will look even better behind my 18 inch Saleens in the spring. And the weight difference is night and day. The PBRs are like feathers.
