My weekend project

[PDXSchrammie]

Alright, here's some before and after pics. So, I'm not sure if it's the ceramic brake pads I got but I do notice that my brake pedal is a bit squishy now. Is this normal? I was expecting to stop on a dime and it's not.





And after:

Did you get the coils installed? :wavey:

No worries, glad that we all know our priorities. What email server you're running? I'm stuck with Exchange 2003 SP2 for the time being.

I'm currently in an Office365 pilot that's been a complete nightmare. On premise we have both Exch2007 and Exch2010 (hybrid server) for this pilot. I had to upgrade the Exch2007 server to SP3 CU6 in hopes that it will fix our free/busy issue with a test user that's already been migrated to the cloud. We can send/receive e-mail just fine but we can't see any calendar/free-busy information across. Arrgghh!

Nah, not yet. I chickened out. I'm a pretty technical guy but it's a bit more complicated than I originally thought. I got like 20% of the way through and decided to throw in the towel. I know my own limits!!

When was your last brake fluid flush? Brake fluid absorb moisture and that will leave your brake feel spongy

When I replaced the brake pads in the Mini, it was a little soft at first but got a lot better over the first couple hundred miles. Maybe the same will be for you.

Yeah, I'm hoping. I definitely feel the brakes were bled thoroughly so no air was caught. Maybe I'm just not used to the ceramic pads.

Did you perform the recommended bed-in procedure?

[PDXSchrammie]

Alright, I got the coilovers installed today. I'll take some better shots this weekend...but here are some sneak peeks. What do you think?

Thanks Aero. I actually went to the installer with pictures in hand of your FX to give them an idea of how much to drop. They were a little hesitant to go that low so we negotiated and this is what we came up with. I can barely fit two fingers and no rubbing at all. I may go a little lower still.

[AeroBFA]

I'm flattered that you thought of me, lol. Still pretty low and looking really good, no need to change your setup. You did roll your fenders right?

no I didn't. You think I need to even if no rubbing right now?

[PMG 705]

Looks awesome PDX! You can go lower, but it looks great as is. Can't believe that a simple drop can set off a car. Congrats man.
