BBK Installed

I finally got my BBK installed. Even though it's not 100% complete, it is good enough. I need to install my 5mm spacers(in the mail) and I need to re-bleed the brakes. I thought I blead them enough but the pedal is still kinda soft.


Old rotor on top of new rotor.

Now you guys see why I was so desperate to get the new brakes on. That is why I am rolling on washers

They stop really really good. I need to rebleed them so the pedal feel is better. I will do it when the real 5mm spacers come in on Thursday. The washers are holding up pretty good.

sexy, looks great, I'm sure it stops very well!

What size are those Mille Miglia's? Obviously no problems with clearance!

Nice. You're running Maxima rotors right? What offset are those Evo's?

Not be so OT but why so big on the non drive wheels?

Everytime I look at those I drool even more. Too bad my 2001 wheels won't clear the BBK. I had to stick with stock sizes but at least I upgraded to Brembo/RTP with Hawk HPS and new calipers.

Bought them used that way. Came off a GS300. The tires have like 70% thread left(Goodyear Eagle F1's) and wheels are in great condition. 300bucks
