Thank you Matt R (Brake Kit :D)

[AliasJerk]

So, major thanks to Matt R for letting go of his rear disc conversion kit for such a fair price.

I just got the hardware today and I am wicked psyched, this may sound lame... but I have never owned a car with rear disc brakes, always drum and I HATE drum brakes HATE HATE HATE. Ive changed drum brakes a million times and every time I hate it a little more.

So I gave in to my temptation and ordered this kit, the rotors and pads werent exactly what I wanted, but I hear they are quality parts so im not going to complain (I probably would have gotten Bendix, just because).

Either way, Soon after this I should be getting SVT front caliper brackets and SVT rotors, which would make my tour have a full SVT brake conversion. Which I think will look pretty nice with my 17's

I have two questions though...

1) Where can I find the Rear disc brake conversion HOW-TO

2) WTF is this thing?

Thanks guys, will keep you all updated on progress

Umm the fittings are unique for each pair are they not?:shrug:

Glad to see it got there and safe. As far as that weird spring: it must have something to do with the e-brake cable, because it was part of the package that came from ford. Maybe it is for the connection at the pull handle.

no they arent. I could screw both ends into the caliper on every one of the brake lines.

Umm yea and what about the lines coming out of the car? Long hoses go front.

I never took the wheels off to find out, I havent had time to install the kit. Probably going to get done this weekend hopefully.
