I've been slowly working on converting my brakes to disc over the last month or so.

I'm upgrading the fronts too.

Fronts: Brembo slotted rotors with Bendix pads.
Rears: Brembo drilled rotors with Bendix pads.

Here's a pic of a pad in the front next to the new pads.


The old:





Lower control arms with with bushings finally sawzalled and chisled out:


With new ES bushings:


The rears readt to go one with some new Megan Racing Trailing Arm Bushings:
-I rebulit one caliper but had to replace the other. 5 bucks to rebuilt, 50 bucks to replace




oh, AND I just got another new toy...


Skunk2 Weighted Shift ****! I LOVE IT!! I found it on Craigslist for 20 bucks!!!

How she sits right now:

 

wow....looks good....gunna look sick with your rims.

 

Thanks!

Here's what I yet have to do:
-Replace driver's side front caliper
-Remove old trailing arms
-Put in new T-arms
-Connect the e-brake lines
-replace the proportioning valve with the "new" 4040 from a 94-01 tegi
-bleed the brakes
-break in the brakes
-beer

 

lol....well....i still have the 40/40 prop valve sitting on my desk...i might install it today..i dont know.......good luck man.....

 

Fixed it for ya

 

lol

 

I like Fiirkan's plan a bit more..

 

Update:
I have switched to the impact gun, cause I need to. The driver's is coming out real nice. Just one more 3 more bolts on that side, two of which are holding on the e-brake cable, so only 1 hard one left. Now for the passenger's side I have 4 more bolts, two again for the e-brake, 1 for the trailing arm bushing and another stupid arm one.

Driver's side:



Stupid control arm bolt:


The only reason I only got this far was because I started late tonight and had to stop because of the noise. Neighbors suck when you have to get things done.

 

Nice man, Its going to be sucha difference after. Wile you have everything out and apart, you should get them sandblasted and powder coated, they will be just like new.

 

why does one of ur control arms look bent like crazy?
