I can stop on a dime now. Okay, maybe a quarter. It's an EXT. ;)

Very nice Matt!
How are the pads, looking at gettin the EBC Series 7000 SUV ones all the way (if I can, front definately) and wonder how they are compared to stock.
Heck, even with 60K+ on my TBs original brakes, I can still stop faster than pretty much anyone else on the road. There have been times where I know I can stop in time but hope the crappy ricer behind me can too so I dont get hit!:o

I definitely like the fact that everything was painted, but I couldn't deal with the Christmas colors for very long:m2:

Matt, the calipers look good. What other color options do we have with the caliper paint?

Looks nice. I'm sure it stops even better though. What kind of rotors are on your tb? They look stock from what I can tell. Are the brake pads the only aftermarket part? I need to upgrade my brakes soon as the pads are wearing out, and I could use new rotors, but don't really feel like spending all the money for drilled and slotted ones.

You need to seriously consider painting the brake pads red or black.

I still have the stock rotors. I was glad that they were still in such good shape since I've been spending more on the EXT lately than I had bugeted.
I have seen the VHT caliper paint in racing red (which I bought) and black, but I know Duplicolor and G2 have a bunch more options. I painted the calipers last summer. I might have picked a different color if I had known that I would buy green brake pads. :laugh:
The good thing is that the backing on the pads is black so it's only bright green around the edges of the pad. And they work so well that I'm not even worried about the contrast with the red calipers. It makes mine a little different than everyone else's. I doubt many people would choose this same color combo. :laugh:
