Here is a Bilstein HD compared to the 97 Mustang GT shock.
 


 
If someone can find a comparison pictrue for the camaro rears that would be great. I am not having any luck.

Mind blown!
 

You don't put cheap coils on a track car.

I see where the disconnect is. I wanted the double slotted pattern on vented rotors. The vented and solid refers to the build of the rotor blank itself like John said. I wanted Adams Rotors for the great quality and they cost the same blank as they do being machined.
 
I opted for the AR Race (double slotted) pattern because it is one of the patterns that adds a hair of performance and also looks good. The dimpled/drilled rotors don't really offer much when used with street pads and they also make noise.

There was four of us working on my car so that probably didnt help=P

It'll be there=)
I will most likely get the Centric parts. If they don't fit I will bite the bullet on the OEM kits.

I started yesterday by rounding up a rubber tipped air nozzle. I got the pistons to pop right out.

 
I saw how nasty the face of the pistons were so I figured they could use some cleaning up.


 
Only one has a good bit of corrosion.

 
I think it should be fine since I wasn't having any issues with it before rebuilding these.
 
I dropped the caliper bodies in the parts cleaner yesterday to get all of the brake fluid out of the bore. I then stopped by the hardware store last night and grabbed some rubber plugs to block off the holes for the piston and brake line while they get sandblasted/powdercoated. I should be able to get them nice and clean by the end of today=)

I managed to finish cleaning up the calipers today.


I can't wait to see them satin black =)
I will be out at the shop Saturday if anyone wants to stop in. My buddy Kyle will be making it out and I am hoping to accomplish something.

Robert, you are THE man=)

I started with the knuckles by removing my Motorsport Hardware studs.


As you can see, they have been around the block a few times.
I then tapped the safety tab out on the nuts and removed them.


The inner race was left behind.

I thought it would be hard to remove but I was able to slide it off with two screwdrivers underneath.
I removed my ABS sensors next since the ABS is deleted.

I also removed the dust shields and threw them in the trash.

They were now ready for some cleaning.

I taped up the spindles to keep them from being damaged by the sandblasting.

I then got them as clean as I could and ready for powder.



The next thing to tackle are disassembling and prepping the calipers and carriers.

Get a friend in europe to send you euro parts=)

Didn't get much of anything done on the compact this weekend but I do have pictures.
 
My friend wasn't able to make it out to work on the bay so I decided to just quick stop by Sunday.
 
I got this guy installed:

 
I also rounded up a few things I want to get powdercoated:



 
The dust shields are coming off of the knuckles because they are shot and I won't have much use for them=)
 
I also took some pictures of being aired out on the 15's. It just looks funny with how sunk they are.


 

Glad you stayed with Arctic Gray. It is such a lovely color. The faces of my Style 5's were Arctic Gray.

Forza 5 doesn't have what? That's lame. Forza 4 has Road America AND e30 m3's.

I picked up my order of stainless bolts yesterday=)
 

 
While I was there I dropped off the bolt for the oil filter housing to see if they can make me one out of stainless with a socket head. We have another idea if they cannot make one.
 
I also dropped off one of my fender screws to see if they can find a stainless socket head screw that would work. I want to run some Downstar fender washers, but BMW decided that a metal screw was better than the usual m6 hardware......

Happy Birthday sir

Mister Jeff. I do not know what you are saying due to your missing punctuation=(
 
 
 
Unless you meant:
 
"I'm not sure how I'm going to clean it. I really want to sand blast it, but it is very messy. I might do it anyways. I am going to stainless shot blast the parts that I am keeping. Most of the suspension will be replaced."

Or just get an e39 m5

We need a meet full of

Or just get an e39 m5

Im sure he does. Mainly a rear subframe rebuild and he is doing front suspension right now.
