Wilwood Big Brake Kit Installed! New- Stop Test Vid Added! Other Cool Cars At Gearhead Garage!

[meade916]

thanks! ya i have two digital cams.......you can tell the old one from the new one pretty well but it still makes for good vid having two angles. I also bet after a second run with the new brakes i could have done better then i did (stopped sooner). That was my first time layin on the brakes and i wasnt sure how they would react but the numbers i got were good so i went with them

over all, my truck feels brand new again! I dont plan on gettin anything new until child support is over in about 1 1/2 years so this will definitly help me make it till then. I see a 2010 Escalade sittin on the same brakes (someday!)

Nice work Steve! Looks awesome, too!!!

If you had a PT, they woulda only been ~$600! http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/01nocomment8so.gif

Is a similar kit going on the Hoopty?

A 30' difference from the best stock attempt= huge improvement

Like you said earlier Steve, a few more runs would have deffinately increased the gap

$600 ? if you want anything decent for your PT and it says wilwood, baer, SS or brembo on it, your probably going to START at 2500 - 3000 without install and work your way up depending on how good you want it to be.

You might be able to go to flea-bay and get you some upgraded rotors or something though.

oh, the Hoopty is getting the EXACT same set, i already have them

oh for SURE it would have.....that was my first time really laying into the brakes, im sure after i get a good feel for them i can reduce that another 10 or more feet
