Well they are still on my Foz n still pull up pretty well... The rotors do however have a slight lip on them... As soon as I get them off I'll check the thickness on them n the pads

Brakes painted n on the drying rack

Posted Image

And while they were drying I decided to finally put my seat heaters in and add some foam to the side bolsters...

Posted Image

Forgot to take a pic of the lower bolsters but u can see in the pic below that they are a tad higher n more square similar to the GTB seats

Cover back on and you can't see the difference with the side bolsters but they certainly feel more hugging...

Are they gen4 GT brakes?

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.


It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.
