Clamps

As mentioned in the "Acquisition" post, the rotors looked like the originals with over 100,000 miles on them. Since I'm planning on driving the crap out of this car I decided to go ahead and upgrade rather than just clean up. I placed the order for rotors, Axis Ultimate pads, steel lines, brass caliper slide bushings, and Motul RBF600 fluid friday night from Turner Motorsports. After a bit of confusion with the tracking number (ups online was saying the package had been rescheduled, the phone system said it was on time, and as usual the manager I eventually got a call from had no clue) the boxes arrived around 3:00 PM.

Just a quick note to the tard that put the wheels back on after the last tire change by the previous owner, TURN DOWN THE TORQUE SETTING ON YOUR F'ING IMPACT GUN YOU ASS BAG!. I managed to get all the lugs loose with the use of a 1/2" breaker bar and a 2 foot extension. I dam near broke the breaker bar trying to get one of them off. I would imagine they were torqued to well over 200ft/lb..... gotta love shitty tire shops.

I manged to get everything broken down last night with the exception of the 16mm caliper bracket bolts on the front and the brake line fittings (11mm). Should have it all buttoned up tonight but won't be back on the road till next week when the replacement shocks show up :)
