new brakes!

[bart]

ok, thanks to simon for getting me some new brakes! ahah eutuning yo!

i got them installed today by what i think i will call the NLT (northland team) and i love them, i have to 'brake' them in though for the first day or two, so i have to go easy on them, so sooo smooth now, brake pedals feels very GOOD, mmm i'm lovin it!

i got oem discs, (by brembo), and PBR ultimate ceramic pads. i will post up more info on how they perform once i break them in. i dont want to ruin them now by braking hard, they are going through the bedding phase now!

for now seems like the pedal feels better than stock, like you actually one with the brakes, so to say. mechanic said the pedal feels much better than stock, not so mushy.

what! no thanks to myself for taxing you around the NW even after you couldn't get my cluster going !!??

yea big up to the NL guys for sure.. i love how they are really supportive of our cars plus they let me know that my 5w50 mishap was indeed a fookup by the shop..

Go ahead, brake hard. Just do it properly:

Re: new brakes!

ya thanks pat, i kinda did that. i didnt want to be too agressive, i did about 10-15 slow downs from 100-40km/h, and did notice a little fade, then i just cruised home and didnt touch the brakes, they were cool by the time i got home, so i think they should be ok, i hope! lol
