Default Brake performance rotors rock

Here are the new rotors and I replaced all the fluid in the system with a harbor freight brake fluid bleeder cost of bleeder $25 and it took about 30oz dot 3 brake fluid.. You hook up the bleeder to your compressor and ready to rock.. I still need to bed the pads tho, now off to sweep up the garage of the rust that fell off my 07 and try to get the bugs off my newly painted font bumper which will take me longer then doing the rotors LOL getting all the bugs off is one job I really dislike doing LOL..Cya Slick

PS..I did not change the rubber brake lines to braided just did not feel like spending the money on that

Looks great! I bet it will look even better with your rims on because unlike the stock rims (like i have ) you will be able to see the rotor and painted calipers very well. Take some pics with the rims back on and show us!

Here you go and I decided not to repaint the calipers they just dont stay clean.. Maybe one day when I have nothing else to do I may hit them again with some red paint.. Cya Slick

PS..No more warped rotor feeling when you hit the brakes now, for sale slightly warped and used rotors for sale 47.000 MILES LOL..

Slick they look great. Once I get through with my performance modding and tweaks I want to convert my rear drums to disc.

I want to convert mine to disc as well, but from what i have heard it entails alot more work then I am ready or have the knowledge to do. It sure would be nice though

Slick what size rims and tires are those? Do they scrub at all? They really look nice. The next thing I am up for in a month or so is a new set of rims and tires. Thanks.
