Fun stuff, took about 2-2.5 hours to change all 4 hoses, pads, and flush the system with some new performance fluid.
Cant wait until road coarse Monday!!

Sweet!

What road coarse and when? I've been itching to get out on a track other than the 1320. I'm seriously considering Mid America Motorplex in Iowa the weekend of July 22 & 23 for two days of track time.

Stoenr, good job on the mods btw. I have no patience for brakes (especially lines and fluid) since the time I lost them in my 88 LX way back, and had to drive home locking up the rears every now and then. Another story.

But I was noticing you have the Rousch rear springs, but did not trim the bump-stop. You must not have any issues bottoming on the stop then? When I put the Rousches on, I trimmed the top section off the bump-stop just in case, but it looks like I didn't need to? Bummer.

Stoenr, also, were there any tricks to changing all of the brake fluid?

Yeah, I don't feel any bottoming out at all

Performed perfect, I could not feel any brake fade. And trust me they got hot! Valve caps were so hot I couldnt hold it while checking psi!
Was alot of brake dust, but thats to be expected.

No tricks, Im lucky to have a brake flush machine at my shop.
