When you installing? Now you need some stainless lines and a MCS and then you can go all out on your braking.

I have the 4000 Series. I wanted the 5000 Series, but DBA doesn't have them for the GE8. I'm installing next weekend. I ordered Goodridge G-Stop stainless steel brake lines and will be flushing the brake fluid and will be refilling with Motul RBF 660.

Sounds good and that sucks that DBA doesn't make a 5000. Well they don't make a 5000 for the Snisen either which surprised me. Still a really nice disc regardless.

Keep on braking late and hard

Yeah, but it's all good. I'm sure I'll be more than satisfied with the 4000 Series. Hard late braking was what killed my OEM brakes.

Thanks. I'd rather not have a front license plate, but I'll get pulled over without one.

I used to run without a front plate when I used to have a CB7. I got pulled over by the CHP. After that, I've always had a front plate on.

I did with the help of 90 DGRZ. I've never painted before, so I didn't want to mess it up. It came out pretty well. I really like it.

It looks really good--did you use Krylon Fusion? I was thinking of trying that as soon as school lets out for summer...so I could take my time and such.
