    CTS-V brakes fitted

    well after a little wait from the U.S for the rotors, finally got my brembos installed. thanks to itsme4g63 for supplying the calipers. they have a smooth feel to them an pretty happy with it, just waiting on a track day to test them out



    install pics being up loaded later

    Ahhh ok, for some bizarre reason it looked "flat" like it had been done with a Mat Wrap... updated some drivers today and looks normal/wet now!
