use SC lines and bolts. you can use the LS banjo bolts too but both work.

Yea everything stays the same, its pretty much bolt on.

The only thing that changes are the pads and rotors. You can also opt to use the LS bolts rather than using the SC bolts with some washers.

Finally got some time to finish the brake job today. They feel great and stop great. I still need to bleed the system properly but overall its much much much much better than before. They look great too...


Dynoed the car again and made 2 runs, it came out to 300hp @ 7psi

Here are a few shots of the caliper and wheel. New bumper is also on. Now that I finally have everything running properly the suspension and body work is coming up next.

I'm planning on doing the custom coilover setup (bilstein shocks with hypercoil springs) to even out the drop. New bushings and spacers for the rear and front to push things out just a little more.

For the body I'm keeping the same color and just adding wider fenders in the front (maybe) and the origin roof spoiler. I already have a 97' front so I'll either go with 97 sides and rear or JIC sides and rear. We'll see.

I finally had some time this week to do some work on the car (yea i stopped fishing. LOL) and got some interesting stuff done.

I gutted the car AGAIN! I figured before winter set in let me double check all my wiring, cables and all that good stuff. I also decided to start running the wiring for the carpc. After that I finished up the bezel and I must say it came out looking pretty good...

I still need to get the right black and fill the rest of the holes but other than that its ready. It fits snuggly with the monitor on there all the cables fit behind it perfectly.
