Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Im damn glad these gp have so good brakes. A dude in a black dodge pulled out in front of me. im glad i enough time slam on my brakes or i would of t boned his ass.
 


yeah the brakes suck lol, that was all you man not the brakes be glad you have a good reaction speed!
 
you'll see how bad the stock brakes are when you slap on some dual piston calipers with bigger rotors

the stock brakes are dangerous

No... 11.6"

My EBC red stuff pads seem to bite pretty well compared to my old ****ty pads.

Instead of pushing to get the thing to stop, they bite right away.

Just put 'em on so they're not bedded and I still noticed a major difference.

Bled the brakes for good measure and didn't noticed any difference in brake feel.

I'm trying to get some new calipers with the brackets for the 12" rotors as well as the rotors themselves... but on the cheap. Just waiting on a buddy to pull through.

did u bleed the lines?

how did u change them? hope ya didnt just rip the old pads off, put the new ones on and shove em back down and put em on the wheel. not good.

check your fluid level and check for leaks too.
 


We got it. But no, I pulled off the calipers, used a c-clamp to push the piston back in and put it back on with fresh pads. I basically had no brake pad on the driver side, while the right was pretty good... 0.o
 
I had...somehow... put the inside pad on the passenger die on backwards... I have no freakin idea how I let that happen :(

97 dollas to fix. BUT the pressure returned after we bled it.
