#15408, "Pics of my GSX Brake conversion!!! Yay!"




          

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:

Enjoy!

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 real nice dude,

where did u get those rotors and how much?

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

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

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