Message	I'm finally getting some of my photos organized from my recent upgrade session. Following are a few of the Specialty Z Big Brake Kit that fits under the stock wheels.

The only real task is removing the front rotor heat shields which I accomplished with Tin Snips...pretty easy job. I haven't driven the car very much since the upgrade, but the new brakes are clearly MUCH improved over stock. A few photos:
