So yeah, when I bought the car in 2010, I drove it home with no working brakes except for the handbrake. When I got the car moving last year, I was too excited to put off driving it till the brakes were done, so I am ashamed to admit that I continued driving it with no brakes all of last summer. I kept my distance from cars, and was white-knuckling it you know.... good times. Sometimes I would mash on the brakes and feel them try to work, and grind pretty bad. Needless to say, I knew I'd be working on them as soon as winter hit. I finally tore into them, and saw the pads in this condition:





That was the grinding noise. Apparently the previous owner drove it like that too, cause the whole rotor was worn at an angle, consistent with the wear on the backing of the non-existent brake pad. I already knew I'd be needing new rotors, so here is a comparison.






After I took the calipers off, I realized why the brake pads were wearing at an angle. Half of the brake pistons in the caliper were rusted frozen. Found a local guy willing to rebuild my calipers so I dropped them off to him, and bought a reverse-speed-bleeder (have never bled brakes myself before), fluid, etc. Few weeks later got the calipers back and for the first time, I have working brakes..... what a treat.

YEEESSS
Who need money when you have a set of Meisters?!

got them stacked in the dining room, i look at them every time i walk through the house; it feels good

+1, just flip the rears or use all inners for rear and drag skinny fronts

mate please get help

You need money when there are no tires on the Meisters. It only makes sense.

i have listed my current wheels for sale locally. once they sell, car will go up on jack stands and funds will be allocated towards wider lips for the rears, and a fresh set of rubbers for all

Someone offered to take some pictures of me with the car and I.... let them...

Something been bugging me for a while and I've been ignoring it to save money but that plan failed so...












hmu if you got wider Work lips, I've got to stagger this square set.

You have to at least try it for a test fit.

lol i thought you meant sell the wheels for profit

Bucket list for me too, but for now I can't afford the 2 piece let alone the 3s

I second the flipped barrel test fit idea

this site has fetishized multi-piece wheels for me to the point where i feel insecure not having at least one set around.

i've flipped barrels before, its just......... outlan-dish
