Default Big Brake Kit Installed









So i just finished installing my new BBK. The Balance 8pot Brake Kit fit with OEM quality. There was no need for spacers at all with the VOLK CE28's. I simply unbolted the factory dust shield, and installed all the brackets and rotor. I had about a finger gap between spokes and caliper. Installation was pretty straight forward and took me about an hour for the BBK (30min per side)

those look really nice, and are probably great performers. Too bad my LS doesn't have enough power to need that type of stopping power.

Dennis, I got them for $1900. 8 POT front kit with Hawk Pads. I chose Anodized red to match lugs and Volk center caps.

This is probably the first serious maintenance this 14yo car has seen!

Yeah I got them to match the anodized lugs I havent decided if i wanna go big in the rear yet. since the front is most important. I may ponder it for a while until I need to swap out the rear brakes.

I should have more detailed pics of the car by mid April.
