    This is why I turn my notification bell on for your channel. I know you put a ton of work into your videos but wow dude, I am not sure who else saw how clean the suspension looked, all the painted parts, the calipers, etc... You go way above and beyond and that is why I love this channel! Your attention to detail is exceptional.

    I came out of curiosity to see what a dual caliper setup was, I left learning how to fix a rear axle seal that I really need to fix in my car. Great video as always.

  • @yeahnah6468
    @yeahnah6468 4 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    Dual calipers are also a lot smarter than tapping into the existing rear caliper lines. You don't risk losing all your brakes if something goes wrong.
    Also in some countries it's just plain illegal to modify the existing braking system, so this standalone system gets around that which is awesome!
    Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos Chris!

  • @Trades46

My moms van actually need new wheel bearings (if I remember correctly) and it was when everything needed maintenance on her van. So she had to pay way over $1,000 for all the stuff that had to be done. Now seeing this I feel like I could've done it for a less.

    Top Tip: Before you put the brake rotors on they use a oily coating to prevent rust on the box of the container. Oil and Brake don't mix, So spray down the entire surface with Brake Cleaner, or your gonna contaminate your brake pads and your brakes won't work properly. Your also spraying Brake cleaner on the other side as well (That includes drum brakes)

    • @RoadRunnerMeep
      @RoadRunnerMeep 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The exception is if it's a coated surface, you don't need brake cleaner then
