Crono-Vertible new brakes!

As you can see, these pads were EXTREMELY worn. The rotors were apparently worse!

I decided to buy myself some upgrades after the car got keyed. Here are the results:

Front rotors:

Rear rotors:

Upgraded 986S brakes:

Eventually, the calipers will all be painted yellow along with the interior trim... But I couldn't hold off on putting these on anymore given the condition of my old brakes.
These new brakes are rip-your-face-off good. I love it.

Brakes look awesome but by far those head lights are the "High Light" of your ride. Its ridiculous how just those head lights make an old car look like it came out last year.

Haha. I said a year ago when I first came to those boards that I aspire to have my ride be one sick car. It's happening slowly.
