Swflej1 GE8 progress thread

I decided to make my own build thread and I've been adding a few things here and there. Plus I think it would be easier for me to keep track of my Mods.

the same way in the link I posted,

1) pull down your dome light then run a wire between the two .
2) then splice one end into the dome line ( a wiretap will work great)
3) the other end you use a female spade wire connector with some heatwrap around it
4) plug spade into the map light the one closest to the inside of the light.
5) tuck any extra wire and reinstall lights.

check out the link below for all the pics, it's not in English but it's easy to under stand.

D.I.Y

Good Luck with the mod just take your time.

How well do the pads in the legend calipers sit on the mini rotors? From the photos, it looks like the rotors are too small and the pad will be right at the edge.

The pics above doesn't have any pads installed, If you look at my last build page (link below). You can see that the pads fit fine, I've been running this setup for a while now if no problems. Later this week or early next week I have to rotate my tires I'll take some better pics.
