Ok, I finally got all the parts I needed and completed the assembly and install today. Only took me about 3 hours total, 1 1/2 hour for the 1st brake (wanted to make sure I got it right!) and then finished the other 3 corners faster. It was a really easy install and everything bolted up exactly like it should. I will work on a write up if anyone is interested.
Here is what I used:
GSX dual piston Calipers
Raceconcept slotted and cross drilled GSX rotors
AXXIS MetalMaster pads
Stainless Steel brake lines (GSX) for all 4 corners
Speedbleeder Bleeder valves
Foliatek Caliper paint

And now here is the link:

Oh yea and there are a few other pics of my car in there also...
but none of me... buwahahahahahahah

What do you think of those braided brake lines?

I havent really had time to stomp on em yet since the pads and rotors need time to seat, but they are definantly stiffer and you get more pedal response, you can feel the road more with em. I have had them on my CBR an mini-cooper for years and have grown acustomed to that kind of response. I recommend them to anyone looking for more from their brakes...

Looks like you bought all new, How much do you have wrapped up in the whole deal?

looks real nice dude,

where did u get those rotors and how much?

Yeh man, that is a great upgrade. Kinda influenced me to do it now definatly. As I plan on going turbo in the spring\summer. Were did you get all the parts, I'm sure I can find the calipers for cheap at a local yard. What year do i need to look for? Also does just changing the lines make a difference? As in, if I change my lines right now, will I have better pedal responce? Thanks for the info, can't wait for the write up.

Good Job :thumbsup

that's awesome, yeah do a write up. also, what's the breakdown on the price and what websites did you go to get all the parts?

There is a write up on the 2gnt home page already. Look in sections, mods, gsx brake conversion or something like that.

Looks good man!

artisty IMO.

yeah do a write up. i'm interested. where did you get the rotors? do you need 17's to fit that setup?

Good writeups everyone, thanks! MMMM:



(From the main page): you might think about investing in a new spare since your stock one won't be able to fit over this setup. Additionally, if you have 14's forget about using those, but 16" rims will fit just fine.

Looks great man!

yeah how much in all? iam doing mine next week and need to know.

Nice work, looks good. Did everything just swap out one for one? Where did you get the calipers from?

Everything did swap out perfectly. There were no problems.
I got the calipers from a member of the board here who was selling parts off of an wrecked GSX. Good deal. I paid total for the whole conversion I think around $360.00.
That was for the front calipers
Slotted and Cross-drilled rotors from raceconcepts.net,
SS brake lines for all for corners,
New AXXis MetalMasters pads,
new hardware, anti-rattle clips, and shims from Mitsu,
and the Foliatek caliper paint.

I have gotten about 150 miles on em now, and boy howdy they are a huge improvement. You can really feel the braking and they grip like none other. Very happy with the swap.

just ordered mine today and wood was very responsive and quick to get my order procesed. rear disk conversion and gsx conversion next weekend. and ss lines

Invest in some wheel locks =)

I've been on your site COUNTLESS times for turbo install pics, brake install pics, RICE pics, etc. Very very helpful indeed. Oh yeah, you have 44 points (more than most the board) and just read the ratings. Everyone is grateful for your pics and writeups. :thumbsup

Hell yeah, man.

You definitely inspired me!

You ARE appreciated! :thumbsup
