Thumbs up Pictures of Brake Upgrade

This is a follow up to my other post about brakes for our trucks. I chose EBC brand.

The "job" is very straight forward. If you're picky, there are many little details that can be done ensure the best possible results. I did them all, and there are more than one might think

To start with, here's visuals. If you would like an explanation on anything please let me know. I'll get around to replacing the rear pads soon, too. I'm now shopping for rotors again.....

If you're wondering, the brakes so far are GREAT. Even one day of driving shows vast improvement. I can't believe how much better the brake pedal feels-- of course it doesn't pulsate-- brake grab is almost eliminated, the action is progressive and with good modulation. The last two points being very important for me. These are the essential observations under normal driving conditions. I've yet to really test the performance and once broken in -- EBC says 500 miles -- they should be even better.

Expectations have already been exceeded
