New boingies and stoppers
I picked up some H&R Race springs from EU Tuning and some new slotted rotors and brake pads as the originals needed replacing, badly. Went over to Dave's after work and aside from a stubborn fecker of a strut everything went nice and smoothly. A big thanks to Dave for installing everything for me tonight.
On to the pics!
Before
Tucked into the garage and Dave's off to work
Dave's new best friend who was a little reluctant to dislodge itself
Brake pads - new vs. original
Old rotors - notice how much they're worn down. Nice lip on them
New front spring and brake
New rear spring and brake
It was dark outside by the time we were done so the after shot didn't turn out too well. I tried taking another when I got home in my parkade but it's still too dark and the subtle drop is not very noticeable. Will have to take some more pics during daylight tomorrow.
Before & after comparo - can't really notice much difference from the pics but I went from two fingers of wheel gap down to just one. Exactly what I was hoping for.
The drive home wasn't too far so I don't have any real driving impressions of the new set up, but the brakes feel a thousand times better and I didn't notice any bouncing from the springs.
I'm a happy camper. Thanks again, Dave!
