    Frame end fittings, but I've got some on the way. I should have just ordered a 3/8 banjo bolt and then I would have kept the brake lines I've been using.

          What size rotors are those... when I'm done my turbo setup, I'm gonna need some good stopping power and that's the next project.

          I think I have a spare knuckle somewhere or could get one to play around with. I really like two piece rotors...

              Whelp, I had a small leakage issue with both of the brake lines but I have since fixed them and re-bled the brakes.

              On the test drive, the pedal is firm and doesn't require much effort to slow the car down. Keep in mind, I have street pads mounted up front from Wilwood. I'm pleased to say that my setup has made me very happy and is exactly what I had expected. With better, more aggresive pads, I should have a great working setup for track driving. I'm stoked!

                Not worried about nose diving though? Running a fairly aggressive pad/rotor combo in the rear???

                    From 140mph in a straight line , not really. Weight transfer is just something we can't get away from. I plan on using a Porterfield or Cobalt race compound for the rears.

                              hmm looks good and looks like it requires less work than the other front setup... someone needs to start selling kits like this or the other one
