I didn't get the rotors, just calipers and ceramic pads. I'm going to use my stock lines. I would wait and put them on at the mod day but I want them on for my drive back to WA.


Ah ur still out of state. Good call on skipping their rotors. The raybestos rotors I have on the original post are suppose to be good and are what I have. But theres so many good rotor options out there Cool . I also plan to use my stock lines. I've read you have to bend the brakeline bracket to give the stock lines a little more room that your bigger brakes need.

Best part about your calipers is you can reuse your factory bolts except for the new banjo bolts u'll get from zzp.

I installed my fbody kit yesterday. The install went pretty smoothly. The brake pad hardware was rubbing on the top of the rotor making a loud noise. This was due to some play in the sleeve installed in the knuckle to allow the smaller 12mm fbody bolts to fit.

I had to use a pry bar to push the bracket away from the rotor then tighten down the caliper bracket. My car didn't need the spacers behind the caliper bracket. I've read some years need this spacer and others do not.
