Talking StopTech's (black) installed- pics

Just installed. What can I say- Wow, these things stop! Still need to do one to two more bedding runs tomorrow (started sprinkling, damn rain just won't stop). Also going to bleed them one more time tomorrow- then I'll hit the twisties and give a better review.

I did 10, they were hot as hell and smokey/smelly as ****.

Afterwards I drove slowely for 30 minutes to cool them down.

Brakes are great, aren't they!?!

You don't want to see my car right now- I hit some debris on the freeway yesterday going through the contruction in Milpitas (not even sure what it was) no chance to swerve or I would have gone right into that retaining wall- scratched the sh*t out of the very bottom of the nose piece (pretty badly) and a nice small dent as well, luckily all the damage is cosmetic and is limited to the very lower portion of front bumper- looking for a new nose piece right now or a lip to cover it. I guess I just need to keep my car off the freeway since I can't seem to avoid random crap hitting my car.

sweet!! Looks great. You gonna paint the rear?
Planning to eventually.

Seriously- wait until you see my bumper- it's pretty bad looking- I'm just OK with it because the rims, suspension and the rest of the car are fine- I thought I did some major damage when it happened.

Default the good - the bad - & 1 suggestion

The good... brakes look great !! congratulations...

The bad.... hitting that debris ! I know how sick in the stomach you can get after than happens. One week after I got my Z... a rock was kicked up by the car ahead of me.. no way to avoid it.. and hit my lower fender and front air lip. I want to cry... but had it fixed professionally... good as new.

1 suggestion...I think black lug bolts would look better on your wheels imho.

again... congrats and enjoy !
