Brake Pad & Fluid Upgrade

Since I had to remove the ABS and bleed the brake system anyhow for the Engine Brace project, I figured why not handle the whole brake situation now. I picked up some EBC Yellow Stuff Brake Pads, and some ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid. Both components are effective at much higher temperatures than the factory equipment, which will benefit my stopping capabilites during the prolonged beatings the car will take at the track, or during spirited driving. Not only will the car stop faster and have eliminated brake fade, but the pedal and brake feel will be much more concise.







In the midst of this project, I decided that the calipers would look a lot nicer if they were cleaned up and painted. So I took all 4 calipers and gave them a layer of black, I think they turned out well.
