Never has "Git 'r done" been more appropriate!

Jeff, if you are going "mount them" I don't want to see it.

I always knew you were a leg humper but mounting Calipers?

This seems like a scam by the brake pad manufacturers. They'll give you the calipers for free, and next thing you know you have to buy 12 new brake pads instead of just 2...

I'd love to see them on a ZR-1, especially if it has 17" wheels!

I don't understand the three little circles painted on them, though. It looks so lame to me. It's obviously a 6-piston caliper, they don't need the dumb circles to draw attention to that.

Wouldn't that be 12 instead of 4 (for both sides) or 6 instad of 2 (for one caliper)

It is a little tacky. But they are not that noticeable on the car.



As far as showing them mounted, damn guys give me a couple of days. I just got these things yesterday.

It is an impatient lot - some even bitch if red x's come up for a few seconds when you upload pics!
