For future reference if you are looking for a great price on brakes, you should check out www.OnADimePBS.com They have an entry level Wilwood BBK for well under a grand. The owner, Alex, is very knowledgeable, if you contact him, feel free to tell him I sent you his way. Good luck with your new pads, rotors, and lines, let us know how they work out.

Thanks!:) but I didn't spend anywhere near a grand. My wear indicators just started squealing and I figured I do a little upgrade.

Just to make things clear. When I said "tax rebate", I mean the one that is coming in May. My tax refund could have paid for a BBK and then some but it went towards granite counter tops instead :thumbup2:

Damn I wish I would of known about these before I bought my setup, I would have easily shelled out a few hundred more.

Let me know how the brakes feel Carl, maybe we could do a swap and drive comparison?

Might as well whore them out as well :icon17: ... and yes I HATE emptying the dishwasher. Hence the empty steak knife holder.

Will do, although I should have you beat since I have more tread on my tires. :D Your rear tread is hurting to say the least.

PhiSig Mar 26, 2008 10:16 PM

Yea Im waiting till after the track day to mount the new rears. I say they have enough for a couple of warm ups and runs then they definetly will be toast and ready to throw in the trash.

Yeah, that was the first upgrade. We replaced the fridge, oven, overhead microwave oven, dishwasher, washer and dryer with stainless.

The granite was the final upgrade. :)

Niiiice. I've been looking to upgrade to SS lines and new rotors and pads. Everything will sit nice with those spacers on the front, too.


Excited for pics, oh yes sir, I am.:naughty:

Kitchen Mods for the win! LOL

Great set up in the Kitchen and on the car. Nice choices all around.

GodSendsDeath Mar 27, 2008 04:13 AM

Dude thats a nice kitchen lets see some more pics..... and the breaks are great, I think I will do the same.

umzzz Mar 27, 2008 05:23 AM

good stuff dutch...maybe now you wont be afraid of the right pedal on the tail :icon44:

BamBam Mar 27, 2008 07:31 AM

AWESOME Karl... Congrats on the upgrades (for both the car and the Kitchen). No wonder the mods on the car have been light. You have done the smart thing and put that money into something you both will enjoy and gives a higher resale value... That's the smart choice. Shame you can't drive the SS dishwasher on the tail though... ;-) :-p
Looking forward to the ZdayZ one way or another.

do you have a brembo or non-brembo setup? Nice upgrades by the way, how much did that run if you don't mind me asking. I'm looking for brake upgrades as well.

Yeah I purposely zoomed on the cleanest spot in the kitchen. The rest wasn't very clean :o

If me or the wife get around to cleaning it over the weeken I'll take more pics. :thumbup2:
