F23's Big Big OEM brake build. Update page 3 (post 25)

Hadn't checked this thread in awhile, caliper colour looks great in the sunlight.

I guess a 5 lug swap was not something you considered?

There are brake upgrades you could have done with that as well.

I would have done a five lug, but then I would have had to get wheels too and I really like the racing harts I have now. Plus I haven't seen a v6 6ga in any junkyard I go to since 08.

Its been about a month and some time since I did these and I'm concerned about the paint it is starting to flake I should have taken them apart and baked them like the enamel recommended. Always room for touchups I suppose.

Any more finished photos? Namely, the Goodridge SS lines? I’m about to buy a set for my BBK and just curious about quality and fitment. What are your thoughts on them?

I should have looked further back before posting a minute ago lol. I actually sold the SS lines without ever installing them. I skipped them even though I was so close because I didn't want a bunch of new brake fluid in my BMC to shrink down the surely swollen seals, causing a failure and another 100+ dollars.

Ahh so you ended up going with the burnt copper colour after seeing my photoshops,
Glad i helped you choose the colour you want. Burnt copper looks sweet !

Looks great man!

Thanks guys! I'll have to clean them up (high dust pads) and do a shoot sometime soon.

Looks good bro. I bet the stopping power is great. I would love to upgrade my brakes.

Oh ok, makes sense if you want to rock a certain set of wheels.

@Kyle, you know what you need to do, 5-lugger, make it happen!

I wanted to run powerslot rotors and I couldn't get them made for a Legend GS so I had to downsize the rotors from 28 to 23mm using 6GA V6 brackets.

Enjoy teh pr0nz

Lets see it with the wheels on.
