How bout today? anyone know?

I started my grinding process today.... with small angle grinder, its going ok but my ears are ringing! I am still thinking about keeping the mitsu logo on them... and which color to paint them(they are black now) and would either keep black or go with red. Probably black tho.

I didn't take them apart to do all this work, but it appears that the clip holding the pads in place stick out pretty far, does that clear the 17"s ok??

The removal of the mitsu logo was purely for looks(and actually one of the fronts had already been taken off

I have them painted and installed the rears, But I had to grind a bit off the hub where the mount to with spacer... But one of the calipers is making a clicking noise with the speed of the car, when I brake its quiet.. I am going to take a look at it some more this week and try to figure it out.

the fronts are ready to go on I just need to rent a ball joint puller and find the time to do it. But with the amount of problems the rears have given me with the noise I am almost tepted to just sell the damn things!

Hehe. sorry but now i have to object. Were you using first gen or second gen r/t 16" rims, cuz my first gen r/t 16" rims fit perfectly fine over my first gen TT calipers.

yes, 16" stockers do fit over the "1st" gen tt brakes.
