1LE brake pictures up finally

Finally, two months later, my camera starts working and I was able to get the pictures off it and up on the web.

My dad and I researched and created this setup from scratch. He used a custom set of 2-piston calipers and pads, homemade modified stock spindles, and thirdgen 1LE rotors. This setup has been on my car since October, and I have had no problems with it. I went canyon carving in November, and had no brake fade or other problems stopping.
We're going to install the next set on my dad's car, and after a couple more months of testing, my dad will offer the setup to other thirdgen owners for sale and install. Price is still being determined.

Whoa how did I ever miss this one…
Great work man. What are those calipers off of? They look similar to LS1 calipers but they are different. Are they off a chevy truck?

I would love to see this post moved over the suspension / brake board
