Nice

Nice! I got the same kit from autoanithing and will be installing them on this coming weekend.
I didn't know that TMS is selling rebuild calipers. I probably should consider to buy them as well. Mine just so rusty and I don't want to repaint them.

Yeah my old calipers were extremely rusted. I've been having a squeaky left front caliper for ever now and I'm hoping this will solve my problem! I too will hopefully tackle this job this weekend.

One thing I noticed, the caliper rebuilds came in a centric box, my stop tech rotors also came in a centric box. I'm not sure if turner rebuilds them theirselves or sends them out for rebuilds. Either way they look great!

Today I installed my new caliper rebuilds, new stoptech slotted rotors, stainless steel brake lines, and Hawk HPS brake pads. Feels great to have nearly brand new braking up front! If this doesn't fix my brake squeak problem, then I don't know what will.

I haven't gotten a chance to bed them in yet, Plan on waiting till tonight that way the freeway will be clear. The pedal feels nice and firm though! I figured I'll drive it around for some miles and re bleed the brakes using my pressure bleeder.

Now that the front is done, I'm itching to get the rear redone! Plan on doing everything besides the calipers.

Nice! I like my ss lines as well.

Those look good! And nice work bench - looks industrial strength.

Looks great Shawn, hope your squeak is resolved!

How are your dust shields so clean!? Your car is so mint.....

[Ssparrow]

Thanks guys! I actually had some black caliper paint laying around and decided to do a quick paint job on the dust shields. Made them look almost brand new!

Damn Shawn, that is a gorgeous blue ZHP, very tastefully done. I love it. Got my gears turning on some of what I will do to mine. Keep up the great work and loving the updates.
