Man all of the mods you did were awesome and very tasteful. I have a gen 1 gs but that side is kind of dead and I am over here getting ideas and wanting to get a gs4 hopefully in the next couple of months.

Time to do the Brakes. My Dad is in town and helped oversee my sub-par mechanic skills. turns out it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.
I usually do full DIY's but i gotta say the simplicity of the Brakes DIY in the 2GS FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) and DIY Thread ★ was done so well.
Like my wooden ramps? haha, only way to get a jack under her
all jacked up. peep my custom one off weight reduction exhaust system
Didnt have a C-Clamp, so my Dad cleverly used a socket and a pry bar
Those 17mm bolts on the back are a b!ch to remove. i broke two ratchets trying before i went to buy a breaker bar and a better ratchet. then everything went smooth
also pay attention to the way the rears are held in place
gettin dark. no more time for pics
well. maybe one more
till next time. no more squeaky brakes. amen

well they surely aint no Brembo's haha. they were just like a mid grade oreilly auto parts setup. funny my pads and current rotors didnt look that bad but been squeaking forever and getting worse. my rotors were pretty grooved up. i made sure i greased up all the friction points well. she feels real solid now and no more squeaks. used to drive me nuts. one day i will have a BBK like yours when i hit the lotto
