man thats a sick looking setup. how long have they been on the car? just wondering why the bolts are a little rusted on the rear calipers? that front caliper is a crazy design also, how do you get the pads out without taking the caliper off? did you notice any improvement over the stockers?

I just put them on a couple of weeks ago, the rear bolts are plated not rusted, but it is hard to tell from the pic. There are 2 nuts that hold the calipers to the bracket. You have to remove the 2 nuts to change out the pads.
Huge improvement over stock. Dropped alot of unsprung weight and the pads do not drag like the stockers.
Robi and I just came back from Willow Springs yesterday and the Performance Friction brake set functioned great. Performance Friction is sending me some more aggressive pads in a few weeks. I will have another update when I get them.

Right now I am not running an agressive pad so it does not make alot of noise, but I should have the race pads in a few weeks and it may make more noise.
