Pics of my Brake Upgrade
I replaced the rotors with Brembo cross drilled, PBR (Axxis) Metal Master pads, Russell Speed Bleeders, Goodridge braided stainless steel lines, ATE Super blue fluid, and painted calipers.

I thought these colors would look cool together...




New stuff...





And fluid and brake bleeder I borrowed from sk8world.

That's why I didn't do mine those colors, everyone else has that. I wanted mine to be nice but different without being too extreme.
