Re: One of Tha Silver Karrs <Problably too Many Pictures>

So the car has a ridiculous more stopping power than it used too!

but the car tends to vibrate a lot more than it used to at highway speed, im wondering what it could be, possibly knocked a wheel weight off? i doubt the new rotors are causing it, any ideas?
 


Re: One of Tha Silver Karrs <Problably too Many Pictures>

love the brake upgrade, what brand are those rotors?

I was debating whether to get drilled and slotted or just regular rotors and I can't really decide, any advice Sense you just got yours done?
 
Re: One of Tha Silver Karrs <Problably too Many Pictures>

I wouldn't get drilled unless it was a actual racecar...you tend to get cracks around where the rotors were drilled. Slotted or blanks would be my choice and are purely optional.
 
Re: One of Tha Silver Karrs <Problably too Many Pictures>

Do the corvette or CTS calipers fit on 12" rotors?

I really like the slotted ones and they work better than the drilled ones (unless they are casted to be vented)
 
Re: One of Tha Silver Karrs <Problably too Many Pictures>

the f body brakes look great on the car. I like the blue you paint on them. goes well with the silver

is it worth getting 13" with 18" wheels with upgraded calipers? Or would you stick with 12" or 12.5 and standard calipers?

Depends on your mods and plans for the car, but the f bodies brake upgrade is more than enough for me it's huge improvement over stock
 


Re: One of Tha Silver Karrs <Problably too Many Pictures>

Sweet deal, you got any more plans for your ride?

Hmm not really right now, I'm using her as daily driver because its been reliable lately, and I have my 300zx as a fun weekend car. I'd really like to make the Gtp a bit cleaner maybe some rims or lower it some

sounds like a plan, those blue calipers will pop out with some silver wheels and silver rotors goin on too, is it your first GTP?
 
Re: One of Tha Silver Karrs <Problably too Many Pictures>

Yeah they do stand out quite a bit I really like how they stand out, and yeah it's my first GTP but I've bad her for over 3 years now lol
