Sweat shop working conditions. It was like 80 degrees out today and my friend was sweating his *** off.





And I'm painting the calipers in a couple weeks when the paint arrives. Guess the color!!!

It's pretty nice so far as far as I can tell. There's still a little squish in the pedal so it needs to be bled a little more. The rotors are non directional, so I just set them up this way because I like the look better.

I'm not sure what the stock diameter is, but I think these are around 11.5"
