my new BIG BIG brake setup
#106
I actually got the cross drilled rotors. Is it the same cause? I did the bed in process last night and the sound did go away. So far so good. I did drive around for about 10 minutes in between sets to make sure the brakes were cooled off. They look great

Thanks again for everything. After driving around the last few days the noises have stopped and its just smooth braking.

Bedding process is complete and was a lot of fun Pics will be up soon, I just have a few more mods I am waiting to squeeze in so I can do them all at once.
My stoptechs are red so I know some people wont like them as much, but oh well

The difference was immediate and incredible. The pedal felt automatically stiffer, but that is pretty obvious. Once they were bedded I did some spirited driving, well as spirited as can be done with a GS3. It felt alot more nimble around the corners and the front end didnt feel as bulky. I guess that unsprung weight loss made a big difference. One time I stopped rather fast for a stop light and the guy that was a few car lengths behind me almost hit me. I dont know if it was his bad reaction or the fact that the car stopped so much better, I suppose it was a little of both.
The Axxis pads that Bit recommended me are great. NO noise and very minute amount of brake dust, which to me is perfect. The only problem so far is keeping the caliper nice and shiny
Once I get more time to drive a little more I will have more opinions. Mostly I have been in traffic and not really able to do to much. I am hoping that will change this weekend

Ed,
I've been caught up with working on the wifey's mods that I haven't had a chance to really post much on the GS forums.
The set up looks like a real winner.
Man the clearance was really close. Much closer than I expected.
I'm glad everything worked out.

thanks glen , close is not the word bro but almost the same clearance as the supra tt
stopping power is awesome and i do mean awesome . brake pedal feel is instant and the bite is hard.. i am trying to sell me ls430 rear setup to get the rear kit from rotora to better balance out the bias and looks.. i cant believe that so far no one wants to change out those puny little oem stockers and get a setup that will better balance out their supra 4pots , ls 4pots , brembo 4pots , rotora 4pots and your stoptechs.. this rear setup works well with the power of 4pots it appears my 6pots might be slightly overtaking them but still effective
oh btw rom pm'd me the other day about something and i forgot to pm you directly about it , i think you know what i am talking about
