What did you have before in the back? Drums?

I hate my drums, not because of any performance aspect, but because of how they look behind a set of nice looking wheels.

I was wondering how this was working out. Good job fitting them so far, I'm curious to see how well they work.

Those look mint! Congrats!

That looks great.

I absolutely adore when people dump tons of money to make their car go fast, but overlook the fact that they have to stop too.

Great setup, looks fantastic!

I haven't spent money on the engine yet, because I have been waiting to complete the suspension and brakes setup, the 2 basic building blocks of modding a car.

I had a 1967 Cougar with 350HP and drums all around and learned quickly that brakes and good suspension at high speed are mandatory... Even in a straight line.

I'm hoping to be done in 2 weeks since I'll be out auto-xing the Focus for the first time. Still waiting on the Poly bushing I have ordered.

I will, but they will have to be from behind the brake since everything is Locktite in place now, I showld have taken pics, I'm bad for that, when I get into something I can't stop thinking about it till I'm done.

But I will give an update soon.... I had to get new SS brake hose made for it. Cause the SVT ones were too short and used a different fitting.

As promised. It was lots of work but it is finnaly done. Bleed the brakes today. And will let you know if I break my neck when I step on the brakes. HA!
