Brake Upgrade - PICS!

[Directedby]

I was not happy with the stock brakes - just wanted to get a 'little' bit more braking, but didn't feel I needed to go with big $$$ brake systems. If I was supercharged I would have gone with the $$$$.

I also didn't want to get cheap rotors from ebay.

I found a halfway solution that I am happy with.

I bought SP Performance Rotors. Others on this site have them and really like them. I also paid some additional money to have them Nickel Plated. I went with Hawk Pads.

I do feel a nice difference in stopping power.

I also painted the calipers Black and had custom caliper decals made for all 4 corners.

Here are a couple of pics...

Looks good, I was thinking about decals too. Glad to see them displayed. What did they set you back? Same size lettering front & rear?
