And on the 7th Day god granted him brakes!






And dirty rims!

GSX Dual piston Conversion
Stainless brake lines
AEM GSX big Brake upgrade (Thanks to Dan-TheDAWG)
GSX Master Cylinder


Not bad for a 450.00 upgrade.

When the motor comes out I can upgrade the Proportioning valve as well.

No thats what Dan did with his rotors. Those wheels may have been the bomb but they apparently were so great 2 years ago that Niche re-opened production lines due to high demand.

Ask me how I know? I paid 500.00 to know.

They're a lot larger than your typical Powerslot or Brembo rotor, hence Big Brake upgrade; won't fit inside anything under a 17" rim. In his case, it barely made clearance. I believe the Powerslot and Brembo rotors you are talking about are slightly larger than factory rotors, unless you're speaking of a Big Brake Brembo upgrade.
