Okay, I'm just figuring this photo stuff out, so here is one of the front end. Apologies in advance for everything that is not right about this photo...computers do not like me I uploaded a bunch of photos, but I cannot find these...

The Wilwoods are the 12.2" kit - if you look close enough you will the safety wire thru the floating rotor. I did safety wire all the nuts. I'm a safety dork, sorry.

looks nice! are those the megan coils? if so, how do you like them?

 

I like them a lot.

Keep your eyes open here, when I can figure out how to get photos uploaded I have a bunch dealing with mushrooming; I have what I think is a permanent fix...we'll see.

 

looks good. but lets see some side shots.

 

Honestly, I don't know how to get photos uploaded. I've used the browser, but I cannot find the 10 or 12 photos I (thought) I uploaded. I've emailed one of our coordinators - no response.

 

Your such a looser....

Email them to me and I'll post them if you want...

 

I know! I can't help it. My son gets so disgusted with me he won't even help.

Okay, I'll email them to you tonight...how do I do that

 

wait, you might have a fix for mushrooming, but you can't upload photos ... sign me up for the fix ...just messin with you.

 

It's actually working! The Megans are flush mounted to the underside of the strut tower. When the M7 SB arrives, this will create a sandwich with the strut tower between. The ride feels a little more composed up front with these flush mounted. I'll need to keep an eye on the Megan perches...for potential cracking.

I also installed two layers of sticky, foil coated flashing on top of the Megan perches. When these were torqued to 27ft/lbs, the flashing squeezed out a bit. I did this to create a little cushion, as well as for filling in any contour differences bwteen the two surfaces.

side benefit; the studs now protrude a 1/4" higher above the top of the strut tower - a good thing for strut bars.

 

great looking setup, but it will probably work better if you rotated it 90 degrees clockwise.

 

I dunno how I need some cookies and lemonade.

 

sweet setup, cant wait to see more.

 

My neck thanks you for that rotation. Hmmmm, schweeeet! Really like those Wilwoods too! Details, details, what a shame to cover this up with wheels and tires.

 

I wish the calipers were red, oh well.

Thanks for turning the photo...wasn't me I have more photos to try to load this weekend...Onasled will hopefully help me out

The brakes were very easy to install - very straightforward. Safety wiring the nuts behind the rotors took a fair amount of time; made easier with special safety wire plyers. I cannot imagine going thru this process with any other tool.

Once the calipers were attached, simply bleed the calipers from the top two pistions - finsihed. Thankfully I did not read the bed-in instructions. I followed a time-honored method and potentially saved myself some aggivation; Onasled informed me that he warped his rotors following the instructions...which required super heating the rotors - high speed bed-in.

May 6th will be the first time I use these on a track. They are waaay better than stock. I suspect I'll need to begin my damping in a different place.

 

That looks great I wish I had them.

 

...they come with a screaming wife, and I mean angry Pick your poison well... "...we coulda bought a sofa or a blender or whatever..."
