Hey guys.... finally, its installed....

I have a few questions though...


the Supra rotors are thicker than the Solara's... did any of you guys that installed this kit (Ericsol's kit), notice that the pads rubbed?... Im assuming that since I have new pads on, they need to wear down a bit... BTW, they are the Duralast ceramic blend pads... lifetime warranty (yeah, i still think its a gimmick!)


Now for my feedback...

AWESOME!!!!!

I dont have a S/C, but lemme tell you something..... I dropped from 80-60mph without a sweat...

Im still looking into the possibility of a 4 piston caliper to be mounted on the Ericsol bracket, before I get into designing anouther batch, and possibly making them available to you guys.

thanks in advance for any help
