ptcary Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 my boys at gearhead garage are puttin them on.....im sure i could do it but those guys are REAL good and are also authorized installers - its best i let them do it. Its up on the rack right now and im at home. I got pics of everything and i also did a before video "stop test" at 55mph. Ill probably have to break them in and after a few days i will make the "after" video on the stop-test. Anyway, they are sick as HELL!! i will upload a teaser pic right now Sorry about that, I didn't mean to infer that you couln't do them yourself, its just since you are doing all 4 corners, a shop with a rack would be best, and the pros can bleed them in no time and get the fluid and pressure right. Plus, isn't it nice sometimes to just pay to let someone else bust their knuckles on your ride! I have to ask, since I think you already touched on the subject... When you added the 26"s could you really notice any decrease in braking? Why do people say you HAVE to get big brakes when you go with wheels that big?
