Aaron....its the same place for the trans temp.....there is only one place for it, and i tapped off the dimmer wire, for the IP, and pwr is off my custom harness, but there are tons of places
and for the Volt you want it off the Battery terminal, you also want it to dim with the IP

Nother question: I figure I'm going to paint my calipers and drums at some point. What drums have people used on performance builds? Does it matter? My discs are going to be powerslots, pads are going to be ceramic. Haven't picked brand on that yet.

My theory is that if you're gonna go nice and new up front, may as well in the back too. Also eliminate the possibility of un even braking.
