So, I drove 2theextreme's Smurf down to Z Nationals, and while I was there, I won a raffle for an upgrade to an akebono big brake kit.

Working with Dustin@Z1, I received my parts a few weeks back, which included:
40th red 4-piston calipers
14" slotted rotors
Z1 Stainless Steel brake lines

I also bought brake fluid and Hawk HPS pads.

Yesterday, at Kirkster's Garage, he and I installed them on Chiana.

It took a bit longer than we thought it would, but in the end, the brakes work wonderfully and look fantastic.












After the brakes, I installed a Z1 25-row Setrab Oil Cooler, with help from MightyBobo and XwChriswX. And then I put some new wheels and rubber on the car. I upgraded from the stock base wheels to 19X9, 19X10 wheels and higher performance tires.

Forgestar F14's with Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires.
