Looks great and brakes feel much smoother Need more time behind the wheel, but so far they are great! Will get better pics tomorrow.

Liking the "V"!!

As you can see above, the speed bleeders came with a black cap which stands out. I found nickle colored caps at Home Depot that match much better.

Brake feel has improved greatly. Before, I was half way into the peddle before the brakes would grab, and shimmy the wheel a bit. Now, I barely touch and she starts to slow smoothly. Don't need much to get her to stop quickly now. Worth every penny
Great pics, sounds like the install went well. Any surprises? You going to do anything with your rear calipers?

Install went great, as I just watched and took pictures, lol. No surprises, could have done without the speed bleeders. Keeping the rear OEM brake set-up, just upgraded to ceramic pads.
The brake feel is great. Nice and smooth stopping from any speed with just a little pressure on the peddle. I love the look of the larger front rotor, really fills up the wheel nicely.
One thing to note, the caliper threads may need to be cleaned up some due to the factory powder coating. On mine, the RH side had to be cleaned in able to screw the bolts through the caliper bracket. Other than that, a fairly straight forward process.
Lines are around 100-125 for russell if you look around and they come with everything.
Also if I were going from GT brakes to brembos I would also run the V calipers or the GXP parts...you can actually go back to stock. Always left me scraching my head why people would hand drill their knuckles *shudder*
Im going to machine mine (since I have to for my upgrade - no way around it for this caliper I am using)
Nice posts.
