Of course, I'll keep updating the thread as I go along. I'm waiting on the anchor bolts, SS lines, and Tie-rid ends. So I expect sometime mid-week next week.

 

Anchor bolts arrived and already have threadlocker. (blue front, yellow back)



Still waiting on the brake lines and tie rod ends, they are coming in today. UPS usually comes around 4-6pm so got a few more hours to go. Though I should be all setup for tomorrows install.

 

Front & Rear brake lines. I didn't take notice that the exterior of these weren't SS, but instead underneath a clear looking plastic. I just hope that this isn't going to fade/crack/etc and look like crap over time





Tie-rod ends. I'm also a little worried about getting a shop to mess with these with an alignment. The last time I had the car aligned after lowering with the Steeda HD mounts the guy was so confused.

 

Nice.

 

Well, everything went on pretty easily. Only real issue was the rear rotors refusing to come off. Fought the heat/sun/rain and had to pack up several times between downpours but it all went on to include the tie-rod ends.

I took it to the stealership and showed them the Steeda Alignment instructions so naturally they bumped their alignment cost up more to cover the "trial and error" references within the Steeda instructions but ah well.

Not sure how much different I should expect in the pedal/braking with the new/upgraded stuff. I did do the recommended bed-in process of the brakes, though I'm not feeling much difference over the stock/worn stuff but then again I don't do much hard braking.

Once I had everything off and could really inspect the rotors/pads of the old brakes I did notice a few things. One, my rotors are in extremely good condition for 50k miles I think. My pads on the other hand were not so good. Brake fluid was also nice and amber when I bled the brakes so that's a good sign too I guess that everything was running smoothly.

I didn't take any pictures because of the constant rain threat/fighting the heat.
