No more squishy brakes
After putting it off for months now, I finally got around(time as well as financially) to getting a new caliper for my driver rear. The old caliper was siezed open.
Well I picked up the new caliper last night from a junkyard(I know, I know), and everything moved nice and free like. So I get home, paint the damn thing red to match my other three, and put it on around 3:45 MDT. I always liked the feel of my drilled and slotted rotors but after replacing the worn caliper with something better, the difference is night and day. The brake pedal was always really squishy. Now it only moves about half an inch before I meet the windshield in a more personal way than I ever thought possible. I've said it before and I'll say it again, breaking has never been so much fun.
