14" StopTech's on!! (56k go get drum brakes)
Thought I would put up a couple of pics. Install was pretty easy and took about 4 hours, with the back taking more time than the front. I installed SpeedBleeders which really helped get the car bled quickly. Thanks to Paul at Avalon and Howard at StopTech for the great price and service.
Picture perfect bedding of the pads!!! Just follow the exact instructions ST provides and you will have them bedded perfectly in 5 minutes.
My Brembo's are for sale. PM if interested.

Welcome to the club. Not too many with the 4 wheel 14" setup. Took me more than 5 minutes to bed the pads. Did the first 10 stops then drove down the highway to make sure they cooled off then did the next 10 stops. I just kept making U-turns and braking in the deceleration lane.

Wow looks great. And Paul has the best price around!
I will be ordering the 13" front kit from him soon.
Hey could be tell me about more about the speedbleeders? Sounds like a cool thing since I don't really know how to bleed brakes properly
Oh btw, can you shoot me a price via PM about how much would you sell your Brembos?

The speedbleed goes in place of the factory StopTech bleed screw. Its basically a bleed screw with a one way valve via check ball on a spring. You open up the bleeder screw about 3/4 of a turn just like a normal one, but then all you do is keep pumping the brake pedal until all the air is out. No need to keep opening and closing the screw. Its so much faster.
When you order them, you want the ones for a late 90's Dodge Viper (10mmx1.0 pitch)

The brembo's are a great setup too, but I really like the two piece rotor setup and the same size all around.
No leaks with the SpeedBleeders. I've used them on many cars over the years. Very happy with them.

Looks great! Great color choice
Any specific reason you went for 14.1" all around from the factory Brembo setup?

As for Speed Bleeders, my Engineering Mgr. is not crazy about them. He said that he has seen them start to develop leaks over time after they've been through some extreme heat cycles. You're probably okay with them, but I'd encourage you to keep a close eye on them if you're going to be tracking the car.
