( New calipers, pads, drilled rotors and stainless brake lines ) Has anyone else made this upgrade? If so, was it easy to install and do you like it. I see a big advantage to have access to the pads without removing the rotors. I have been to Watkins Glen twice with this car and am returning this year. It would be great to be able to change pads on the front and rear easily at the track. Thanks Does anyone know of another reasonably priced brake system that I should consider. ( besides for the Bear system )

Install was easy (once I found out where the washer went )...but you will most likely need to do studs as well as some spacer (not sure what rims you are running) and the studs can be a PITA do replace, but I did mine in my drive way and was easy...but i have not finished bleeding them yet. They (even with air in the lines) stop much better than stock..well worth it. I say get them...order rotors through HMS (EBC slotted and dimpled)...they seem to be the bomb so far.... Just call me Judge. People suck. Life begins at 170mph...until that point it is just boring.....
