Not hard getting them off, BUT, you do need the specialty hex tool (which can be bought online) and its a bit unnerving if you are trying to do it with a floor jack.

Is your pepper a V6, an S or a Turbo?
Was this a brake upgrade in size?

I have a 2004 V6 and want to install S brakes on it. 350mm instead of the 330mm.

Is this what you did?

Is that upgrade to 350mm possible?

Thanks

Great looking job by the way.

I'm having VERY good results with the Centric solid cryo treated rotors from tire rack and EBC Yellowstuff pads. I tried the red and while initial bite was good they faded quickly and ruined my rotors.

I have had no issues with the Yellowstuff pads and do not use anything on the backing plates of the pads. I just throw the pads in there and go. After 1000 miles there has been ZERO squealing and ZERO FADE. They are a performance pad and need a little heat before they really grab. Dust is medium.

How come no one ever talks about Power Stop brakes? A set of cross-drilled rotors and ceramic pads for less than $300 at Amazon (K4558, sensor and other hardware not included).

I just installed this product on my Honda Accord, and it performs way better than stock.

I have the ELINE non drilled or slotted rotors from R1 Concepts, on my 2005 CTT.

I also have the Posi Quiet extended wear brake pads. They come with the spring plate and pin/bolt hardware.

I am extremely happy with the quality of the rotors and the so far the feel of the pads.

I bought the ELINE non drilled or slotted rotors and the posi quiet pads (including spring plate and bolt/pin) for my 2005 CTT for $340.74 including free shipping. There was a 20% off sale around Christmas. They send out big discount coupons all the time if you sign up.

Go to the website and plug in 2008 turbo. I believe they have them.
