hehehe, this amused everyone on sat... fixed my brakes on sat at the NEPOC meet. before, pass side before, drivers side almost off after, pass side hey look...it's me! installing sts i installed the calipers that i had painted and cleaned up from nick, and installed the $15 honda civic STS from ebay. new rotors from napa... having brakes again is awesome and OMG the shifter is mint. i used to have a B&M STS on the probe, and this one is much much better. the STS has bearings instead of plastic bushings. theres absolutely no play in the shifter and the throw is reduced considerably. i still don't have 3rd gear under 4k rpm but I'm rarely below that anyway oh yeah and this is my gps setup

Looks like the only brakes you had actually working were on the Driver's side. Good thing you didn't have to stop quick.
