New GT 12.4" brakes installed
I had changed my rear rotors and all front and rear pads back on February. I didn't replace my front rotors at the time because I thought it was a little too pricey to have the same tiny rotors installed. I had asked a few weeks ago how to replace to the bigger GT brakes and someone referred me to the kit American Muscle sells. I checked it out and bought it last week. I finally got them installed on my car. Here's a before and after pic so you guys can see the difference in look.

After:
You can feel a bit of improvement in stopping power in normal driving. I just got them installed like 15 minutes ago, so I haven't had a real test yet. And the bigger brakes look 100x better than those tiny V6 brakes. And as some of you may recall, I had painted my brake calipers a few months back. They're holding up great! They're just full of brake dust, but no chipping and cracking.

That looks sick! The GT breaks will make a huge difference in stopping distance & power.
I am glad to hear you are happy with the set up! Thanks for shopping with AM!

Thanks!
Thank you! And thank you guys at AM for the excellent service, fast shipping, and low prices!
Yeah, they're great!
I had them replaced with some ceramic pads. Not sure of the brand, the shop just put them on.
