Interesting choice of parts Ken, sadly some of those are verboten in the AWD application I have (The X brace for one)

Already new rotors and pads? :blink: were the stockers cooked already? Unless you're already figuring that the stockers will not handle what you have planned for the car :D

Well Ken, you don't waste any time or money. You and Dan are going to be neck and neck in the modding race. What are you going to do for reverse lights? You are still coming out on Mondays right? I am going to have to check this out.

Well I've got my first track day coming up in April and I wanted to at least get all the mechanical mods done before then ... and brakes - meh, I'm uber picky and I've got the slightest bit of vibration right now and so decided to go ahead and change them up. I'm considering two options for the reverse lights - install a second bulb in the existing fixture (it's quite big) or installing new lamps as part of the trailer hitch.

LOL hard to call it a race - - - Daniel's car and mine couldn't be much more different considering they're both Fusions - I'm really looking forward to seeing his new rims and the body kit. I plan on coming out to as many Monday nights as I can, so Fusionation will be well represented.
