Just installed my Z06 brakes - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

I wanted to thank Bob Bishop for the design and manufacturing and Trackbird for setting up the group purchases back in last November when I bought them. I don't autocross the SS anymore. I have a trailered, race-only, not street legal Fiero for that now. State Farm likes it better that way. It took seven months to rebuild the car after November's conflict with the light pole and hydrant and the brakes have served as decerations on my coffee table in the formal living room. My wife's actually pissed that they're gone now. She liked them. They are quite pretty. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Anyway, my stock 50,000 brakes with 2 years of autocrossing were pretty much gone so I had to replace them. Why would I buy new pads and have rotors turned when I have these already waiting for installation?!? It took ~4 hours tonight to do the entire job, by myself, in the driveway, in the dark too. Very easy. No issues. The stopping power is awesome.

Thanks again guys.

And then there's the bonus.... I have a new Sawzall and vacuum brake bleeder! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) Don't tell the wife...
