Install complete.....Stop in!

I posted up a thread about the awesome work that Mike the Powdercoater did with my calipers this week.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...s-step-in.html

Got down to business today and installed to calipers, brackets, new pads, adjusted the parking brake on both rear wheels and lowered the suspension. These pics were taken with about 5 miles on the road so the suspension will settle some more. Man I'm tired. Hope you enjoy the pics. I'm going to get a shower and pour a scotch!! Cheers

Enjoy!
Chuck

Now who's Mike the powder coater?

Looks great!

I really like those wheels on a C5.

I just got back from burnishing my brakes from a recent overhaul of brakes, rotors & pads.

What kind of scotch? Give this a try sometime.
