Do you like brake pron? Do you like Mach 1 brake pron?
With Facebook taking a chunk out some forums, haven't posted much on here lately(and doesn't look like many else have either), but figured this might interest some. This has been a long time coming, but long story short way back 2 winters ago, I was determined to put together a 14" brake kit almost anyone could use. Didn't happen. I used S197 14" rotors as they match the sn95 rotors closest in some dimensions, and went through GT500 Brembos, Nissan/Infiniti Akebonos, and then Cadillac V-sport Brembos. The last I got close, but just wasn't good enough. I needed a company to bite on this to make the parts, so it had to sell to a lot of people and I finally got it all to work. So I had to downgrade but that lead all the way to this. It's an ATS/CTS/C7 caliper and 11-14 Mustang GT rotor. But mostly, just to show off rattle can work that doesn't look half bad. Also, this is the only site that comes up unsecure, and wont let me upload any attachment/photos as a result. Links should be good now. Test fitting:

Prepping the calipers. This is Burnt Copper Metallic VHT paint and VHT clear coat.

Re: Do you like brake pron? Do you like Mach 1 brake pron?
At this point I'm realizing, it's not going to be the color I really want. All the photos online are inaccurate, this paint is almost impossible to photograph. So I mess around with filters till it becomes extremely close to what my eye sees, darker orange and less gold. Followed by some clear coat.

And then the cherry on top, decals I had made based off the actual font. Font is a 99% match and proportions like 80%, changed some to make it fit wider and not so tall. Still have a few in gray in 2 different sizes if anyone is interested.

Re: Do you like brake pron? Do you like Mach 1 brake pron?
Is there something obvious I'm missing as far as uploading? This is literally the only site/forum that comes up unsecured and won't let me add attachments or photos. With photobucket off limits guess I have to find something else public, since Googlephotos can't make photos public it looks like, just entire accounts.

If the photos are small enough then add as simple attachments. If they're too big, either shrink the file size, or Flickr is a good alternative to post tehm to and then just copy them here.

Could also try screen shotting. That will reduce it some. Or crop the edges of the photo a little.

Thanks. Chrome wont recognize this site as secure, so it wont let me add any attachments or link photos. This is actually the only site I've ever seen Chrome recognize as not secure. But then IE wouldn't allow me either so I'm not sure. Fixed now hopefully.
