If you would like to order stickers, please do so at this time, hopefully that will help a little to pay for this fix.

What's going on with the brakes?

Lots of shuddering? Master Cylinder not generating pressure? Rotor cracked/broken? Brake Caliper not engaging?

i can hear a creaking sound from the front calipers when im at a stop sign or slowly moving. Also feels as if the brake pads are rubbing, possibly need new ones. also possibly have warped rotors. So im going to upgrade to the Z1 kit. Replace the rotors, pads, lines, fluids.

You probably just need new pads have you even pulled the rim off to take a look? Sometimes you can get dirt/debris in there as well which can cause issues.
