well was just doing spring maintenance when i found over the winter the brackets had seized up. so i went to the yard right before they closed and got new ones, came home and threw those on. well get the driver side all together and then go over to pass. and try to press in caliper. it goes down smooth till the last 1/8" inch when it wont move any more and i bent my c-clamp in the process. so instead of going to the yard and buying a new caliper i just so happened to have some XG350 calipers around from when i was trying to 5-lug swap the car last summer. so i went to parts store and got the rotors and threw it all together

so here are some comparison pics and then what it looks like now. sorry for crappy quality pics it was on my cell phone.






funny this and the halfcore radiator happened because some part broke and i happened to have a upgrade sitting around... guess planning ahead and being to lazy to put on parts when i get them ends up working out in the end. fing02.gif
