It's been slow on nopistons the last couple weeks too. Even worse at the shop I'm at. I'm the head tech but I'm doing oil changes to keep busy. Those that do come in for maintenance can't afford what they need.

why you going to those calipers? factory ones are plenty enough for street driving. just buy some bad *** pads and call it a day

I'm doing a conversion from 4 lug not 5 so it's not like i already have 4 piston fronts. I got the near mint brembos for the same price I could get reman turbo II calipers. I may not race NOW... going ***** out the first time around allows me to rest assured I'll never have to upgrade these. i find it a good move because it's not costing me much extra

edit, i dont NEED the booster and master but from what i hear it makes the pedal feel more firm and travel less

Lol yeah, I love seeing the glue melt that holds the pads to the backing plates. Most of the work I end up having to do at the shop is fixing the damage that happens when people try to throw cheap auto zone parts on their cars.

Never.
I will never lower my car.
I like practical mods.
Plus it's just a straight-line car that I drive to work/school and am able to go through mike's carwash.
That was decided when I found out I suck at driving.
Me driving in Forza ≠ me driving in real life.
