Default RE: Removing the brakes

I had no complaints on my brakes that day. Ive had them on since June and they still are pretty meaty. Stock rotors holding thier own. 3.5 miles 21 turn course. Top speed for me was around 110 on the straight.
Will be taking them back out on the track again in June, should be fine.

Sebring has some pretty long straights that with teh 4.10's on the car I'm sure I'll see 130mph plus on the long straights.
It also has a very famous hairpin turn.. I figure now that the suspension is almost all done I just need to get some track rims with some Nitto 555rII's or if I can get someone that has a trailer or truck going to the track I'll go a step higher and get DOT track only rubber for the rims that I can just put on at the track with the race pads. The BAER brake is also on the list for the next round of mods. Going to also get the 2 piece rotor for the rears..

to be on topic.. to remove to rotor on the stock brakes you need to unbolt the caliper bracket as well as the caliper
