What's involved

What this repair actually is.

We install your performance brake components on the chosen axle — upgraded rotors and pads in factory sizes, or a big brake kit with larger calipers, rotors, and brackets. The system is bled with fresh fluid, the pads are properly bedded in, and we road test to confirm a firm pedal and straight, quiet stops.

Symptoms

How you can tell.

  • Brakes fade or get soft during spirited or loaded driving
  • You want stronger, more confident stopping power
  • You bought a big brake kit and want it installed and bled correctly
  • Stock brakes overheat driving in hilly or stop-and-go conditions
  • You upgraded power and the factory brakes no longer feel adequate
