Super work. thumbsup.

emmachwazit?

I spent some big coin upgrading the brakes on my XR6T, AP Racing 6 pot front, 4 pot rear, didnt get much change from 10K, but i honestly reckon it was one of the best mods ive ever done to that car.

Your brembo rotors looks identical to my rotors.

one can of racing red + one can of gloss black = $35 :)

originally i sprayed the fronts... but i had to redo them due to paint being chipped off when changing the rotors, and when i redid then i used a paint brush, much better result! and no over spray!

may i ask yr spoon caliper is it a kit for CL9 or it is same as s2000 one
they can use the same bracket and stock rotor when install ..thx!

also 1 more thing wht is the wheels size and offset of yr current rims!

CGPTSX006 - do you find any increase and how significant in performance gain with the caliper?
personal opinions on how you feel when driving with them? more sensitive etc etc.

I think its the same caliper as AP1 but need a diff bracket for euro...

I've also heard can't be installed over stock rotors... Can anyone confirm please, I really want to know as well...
