Garage
Howdy again y'all!

Last weekend I was unable to do any other significant work, because I had to travel for my job. This weekend I was lucky enough to get some good garage time in, including having my housemate move their vehicle so I'd have the whole garage to myself.

Anyhow, I went ahead and installed my AP Racing Sprint big brake kit + Ferodo DS2500 pads. I also put Spiegler SS lines in the rear (no photo) with Ferodo DS2500 pads to match.

After bedding in, I took this shot. As you can see (barely in the bright light) there's a color change with bluing on the rotor.

Unfortunately, while bedding in my TPMS light kicked on... I'm still not sure what the cause is.

All in all though, these new brakes are performing spectacularly in my quick test cruise. Unfortunately even after bedding in the Ferodo DS2500 are VERY noisy. I am hoping to find some non-noisy pads that I can swap in on all four wheels so that my neighbors don't hate me. I'm looking at maybe Carbotech 1521. I'm probably going to email CSG and Essex to see what they recommend.

Cheers and safe driving y'all.
