Whats up guys... Yesterday KelRx8, Helghast7, halimsteven and a couple of forum members helped me install my StopTechs. I painted them a custom color(-edit-I really like the Project Mu color so I tried to get as close as possible). I really didnt want any of the traditional colors. I wanted something that would stand out. I purchased StopTech decals from "Polak" they ended up a littel to large, so I have to reorder an other pair. But for the most part I'm really happy with how they turnd out. And the stoping power is amazing.






^In this pic the caliper is on the wrong side. we just through it on for the pic lol.

 

Looks pimp man, like the Project Mu color

 

love it!

 

huh Project Mu wanna be,,, jk, nice Omar,,,

 

lookin good bro

 

love the kit.. but if you didn't want a traditional color why did you use the Project Mu color?

 

I was definitely going for a Project Mu type color, because thats what I like, and you dont see it often. Plus StoptTechs aren't far from the quality of Mu's. But im very happy with them. And I'm VERY thankful to have gained awesome freinds off this forum. It was 15 degrees outside and Kel Rx8 offered his garge to help out. If it wasn't for him they wouldn't be on until it got warmer out.

 

Oh I also got the rear StopTech rotors and lines, but it ran late we're installing those next saterday...

 

Nice to hear, what paint did you use, did you bake them, or do you plan on painting them every now an then,,,

 

Hmmm, dunno about the color, but I know that the performance speaks for itself.. How big are those rotors? I'm surprised a BBK fits under such a low offset 17" rim.

 

Yea they were baked, I had them painted at a shop... I didnt want to half *** it.

I think the low offset is what helped them fit. I know they dont fit with the stock rims. The rotors are a tad bit bigger than stock, but much thicker.

 

best application of fender strakes ive seen..

 

i like em, they look sweet

 

Do you plan on putting the Stoptech logos on the calipers?

 

Overall props on the BBK; may not be necessary but damn seeing some big brakes on a car sure helps the car look mean! Nice! That said...

Why oh why Project Mu color?!? The color is sick but, to be honest, it looks like they're trying to be something they aren't! That said, you seem happy with them so


Lower offsets make more clearance, rather than less.

 

nice
I would've done red to match the red pinstrpipe in the wheels though

 

Not a fan of the color, but they do look beefy.

 

Yea I actually have a pair from Polak but they were to big. Im going to order another pair smaller in white.

 

anytime bro
maybe early 10am next saturday to do the rears.

wheres the pics of my Iphone and dollar bill to show size of these suckers.

I dig the color,red is played and I have red on my car
makes me want to do mine before DGR

 

They came out real good soon both of us will be rocking BBK's

 

looks great. the red and greenish are kinda clashing now though.

 

I was referring more to the fact that they were 17s. The offset comment was more or less part of the dimensions than the issue at hand. I knew the difficulties fitting BBKs on the Stock 18s, but its nice to know its all good.

I plan to slap some BBKs on my 19s but that's a long ways away from now. The 8 just sits collecting dust lol.

 

Looking great! Let me know the correct size for the decals.

 

This is off topic but Drift King whats the fog light over lay ? Whered you buy it ? And does it affect the amount of light you get out ?

 

Looks sexy O!
