Cool New EBC Brake Pads, Rotors and Rebuilt my Calipers

This past two weekend I took the time to install my new EBC Brake Pads and Rotors.
I decided if I was going to do this I would do everything including, rebuilding my calipers and painting them as well as installing new stainless steel braided brake lines.
I have never rebuild a caliper before, but I see no reason to ever purchase anything other than a rebuild kit in the future. It really is quite simple to do the rebuild myself.

Here are some before and after pictures:

EBC recommends driving for couple hundred miles before bedding the pads, so I'll drive a little slower the next couple weeks and then bed them in per the EBC instructions.

I have EBC yellow stuff pads on the front. They have phenomenal stopping power but are extremely dusty.

I love their performance but wish they had a little less dust.

You should try reds. The stopping power is still really good but they don't make much dust at all

I got a great deal on the EBC Stage 11 bundle, which included the EBC Rotors and Greenstuff pads.
They have much better breaking ability over whatever was on the car, but WOW do they put off some dust.
I am happy so far, but these will make me wash my car a lot more often.
From what I have read the Redstuff are a little more money but a lot less dusty!
