What did you do to your GT350 today?

[Nfs1000f]

Installed new brake pads. Hope it cuts the dust down.

Excluding the jacking up of the car and removing the wheels how long did it take you to do the front swap?

It was about 30 min each side and that was cleaning the locktite out the bolt hole threads. It's pretty straight forward swap. I had a piece of 6x6 on 2 pieces of 4x4 covered with a clean rag to set the caliper on as brake line is short. Rear pads are 10 min max.

I attended the SCCA event at Summit Point this weekend. It was great fun and the car performed well. Definitely makes me seem like a better driver than I actually am. Ford engineers did an awesome job!

Are the caliper bolts one time use?

No sure, I reused with locktite.

I believe they are one time use only. This is why many folks here have gone with studs instead, like the ones from Caliperfexion. As a bonus if you purchase the extensions you can simply slide the calipers onto them which makes changing pads a breeze.

I got my 2019 RR , GT-350 baby back ! Gave her a gentle wash and enjoyed on Father’s Day after the painted stripes job was finished .
No more BS vinyl stripes, and no dimples in the front bumper !

@SL8888 , mind sharing what the painted stripes cost you? or at least ballpark?...looks nice.

@SL8888 - looks great! Is your front splitter installed correctly? In the pic of the front in the sun, I think I see the tell-tale gap.

You have a sharp eye my brother. I’ll check when I’m home from work tonight. Might be water as I had just washed it but it does look funny in that picture

*fingers crossed* I hope it is just water reflection I see.

@imbadatthis LOL!
We should probably get them together at this point. Sounds like they could be best friends.

Z26 pads shouldn’t cut down on dust, it should all but just about eliminate it at little expense to street driving performance. A very worthwhile trade.

I endorse this comment 1000% percent! Can't beat them for the price and the almost total elimination of brake dust.
