Well, finally got rotors for my car and didn't have the means to take some pics for you all and get them posted until now. There are a lot of em, so be patient.
There you have it. Enjoy Keith

That's awesome looking Keith! Love the bright red calipers. That combo of your wheels, the rotors and the painted calipers looks HOT!!!

That a big brake kit or just cross drilled and slotted rotors?
I'd like to go with the big break kit, however I dont want to go bigger in the front without doing the rear too. I toyed around with getting the 13in for the front than trying to move the fronts to the rear. I imagine it could be a pain in the butt although a cheap one. |

No big brake kit here. A little story goes along with the installation of these rotors.
Had the front ofthe car off the ground, and got the right side done. Wanted to see how they looked behind a wheel, so I put the right side wheel on. Took a look and moved on to the other side. Got the rotor on and tried to fit the caliper and pads back into place when the car fell off the stock jack. After I got the car back in the air, everything was undamaged and finished up nicely.

I kinda was. I was sitting on my shop stool with most of my lower body under the car. I saw it beging to move, and I pushed my self out of the way. My friends considered the whole thing to be a stroke of luck; the car falling, no damage to the new rotors or car and that I was OK. After I finished up, I went and bought a $5 Powerball ticket. I lost. Oh well.

You should use jack stands when the car is off of the ground. I am so glad you didn't hurt your self. Don't trust the stock jack, it is not a very good one at that.

I would have used jack stands had I been able to get the car higher off of the ground. The only jack that I have other than the stock jack is a little Walmart Special jack that I bought last year some time. That and my jack came with the stands. The jack stands are pathetic. Boy I need decent lifting equipment.
