Yeah it's gonna look pretty sweet. Can't wait to get mine installed also, maybe mid march or so if it's warm enough. I also have to paint my calipers so I might as well wait and do it all at the same time.

You gonna be ready to take these this weekend, or would you like them before that? I'm not sure what hours you work but I'm working nights all week and I'm off this weekend coming. I guess I can meet up with you somewhere if it makes it easier for you.

Let me know.

 

[Spool2Go]

I don't work this upcoming weekend but I believe Sunday would be a good day to pick them up. Just let me know on the final price.

 

[ManOnFire]

Ok Sunday works for me also, $360 is the price (I got a $10 discount on the second set for my inconvenience and it will cover the $10 cost of the pickup at the parcel service in NY the second time.) so we don't have to fool around with change.

I live in Aylmer(Quebec) which is west of the Champlain bridge. Not sure where in Ottawa you are located but I can meet you wherever you like, anytime after 12pm.

 

[Spool2Go]

Usually on Sunday's I'm in the Preston St. area visiting family and eating lunch, so I'll be close to anywhere u are.

 

[ManOnFire]

Ok then how about we meet at Bate Island? It's half way across the Champlain bridge, would be on the right hand side for you while crossing the bridge. You can pick them up at my place if you want, I just thought that this would be easier and I can go do groceries from there right after.

Preston St, Ottawa, ON to Bate Island - Google Maps

I have no plans that restrict me timewise on Sunday, so if you agree on this spot just pick a time when you'll be done with the family thing and we'll go from there.

 

[Spool2Go]

That island would be fine and I guess around 2:30 because their might be b-day cake involved after lunch.

 

[ManOnFire]

Alright, if there's any changes let me know.

 

[Spool2Go]

Will u be driving big red just so I know it's u? I'll be in my beater so u wont know its me.

When I got them there was something that was bothering me about them but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then it hit me.... they looked too big. I measured them and the front set are 13.4" and the rears are 13" (brembo version sizes). My base brakes are 12.6" in the front and 12.4" in the rear. Not only that, the rear disc on the base brakes isn't like the brembos that have the vented rears.

 

[Spool2Go]

The Brembo disks really that big? I never really compared them to another cars disks.

 

[ManOnFire]

Yeah I took the specs right off the Hyundai site...


Brakes
Front: Ventilated Rotor 12.6", (320mm) Single-piston Caliper
Front : Brembo® Ventilated Rotor Disc 13.4", (340mm) Four Piston Red Caliper
Rear: Solid Rotor 12.4", (314mm) Single-piston Caliper
Rear: Brembo® Ventilated Rotor 13.0", (330mm) Four Piston Red Caliper

 

[Spool2Go]

That's awesome that the rears are vented on the Brembo's.
