Free bump for a good friend and a great product!

In case you're not familiar with what these do, they improve the performance of your OEM brakes. Essentially under hard braking it prevents the pads from flexing which provides firmer and more even contact to your rotors. The standard bushings are rubber.

The best mods you can do to your brakes before going to BBKs are this mod, ss lines, brake fluid, and better pads.

BEFORE


AFTER



I did a writeup on this if the buyer needs installation help.

FYI front and rear are identical so how does $60 shipped sound to each of you since I'd have to ship twice?

Let me know...And thanks for the added info and the bump Octaneguy!

How do these hold up against the winter elements? Any problems with corrosion?

No problem with erosion.....but they do require maintenance once in a while (clean, relube). I'm in the NE and have had them for three winters now with no issues......
