Well you know that I got the new rotors on the front from frozenrotors.com (slotted and cryogenic treated Zimmerman's). I also took the front calipers up to Reid Vann to have them rebuilt. Should be about $150 per caliper in parts and a little labor. This includes new pistons, seals, scrapers, speedbleeders, and bleeder caps. They are going to totally clean them up too.

About the flare nut wrenches - I went to Sears and got a metric set for about $25..worked great on the driver's side front line. The pass side front line is stuck like a ***** and i have accomplished stripping the nut. So, i am going to replace the hard line that connects to the firewall and runs down the wheelwell.

I went ahead and got the rear calipers off tonight and will take them up to Reid Vann Monday to have them cleaned overnight in thier parts cleaner.

The rears didn't smell near as bad as the fronts. Talk about cooked calipers ala driver's ed! I am sure the seals and the pistons are screwed and they will definitely benefit from the rebuild. The rear's pads looked brand new compared to the front pads that had about 1/8" of material left.

I'll go ahead and replace the rear lines on Sunday. When I get back in town from Thanksgiving, the calipers should be finished and I'll pick them up. All I will have to do then is take a wire wheel to them and repaint them, attach to the car, put the new pads on the front (Performance Friction), and bleed the system with the new ATE Super Blue racing fluid.

We'll see how it is then.

I did ask for a new proportioning valve for xmas(My Wife must think I am a dork). This should help move some of the breaking pressure to the rear.

I'll keep you posted and thanks!
