I have the kit on order,
as i have a Shortend Commodore Diff in the rear and kept commo internals am gonna keep it 5 Stud, as it works out to be $920 Vented and Slotted in four stud, but $850 if i keep it 5 stud and can use MOST commodore wheels,
the only person i know that has it is Reddez in a 5 stud,
and it is $1050 for the 330mm 4 piston AP race set, |

They charged $130 for slotted rotors each, and $120 I think it was for brand new PBR calipers with brake pads... then you have to do the work that is outlined on Gene's website |

the front calipers hit the control arm. meaning you wont get full lock. |

Thats why you put a torquey engine in and use the right foot to do the extra turning |

IMB.05S white escort does that. he put 17 or 18's on and the thing doesnt go around round-a-bouts. the only way to make it around them is to pop the clutch and drift around |

BlueTC, can you give me a website or a phone number and address for "Performace Brake workhops".
As for the master cilinder you would use the ford XA or XB. The standard booster in my case the TE one will do the job fine but changeing the length of the internal rod to I think 75mm or 76mm. |
