I bought cross drilled zimmermans for my 97 to make it look a little more like an S, pagid pads (black) and the super blue racing brake fluid. I also upgraded the brake lines to SS while I was at it and the firm pedal is WONDERFUL. I can stop on a friggin' dime now.

I got the discs, pads, and brake lines from an ebay seller out of Toronto for a great price. The discs were even cadmium plated so the hats have not rusted.

BTW, the top caliper bolts up front were rusted on the exposed tip and completely reamed out the threads. I had to use a timesert kit to drill out the wheel carriers and rethread it with inserts. What a pain.

And now a full year later I come to find out that anytime you remove the calipers you must replace the bolts with new ones, so I must do that soon. I have the bolts but they're just not in yet.
