I hope these discs work out for Jon, I thought he was going to set the garage on fire when I left.

[Ruepart Hoaxley]

Fuego would be a result of anger at said discs? Were there issues during install?

Big thanks to Will and Phil for the help with everything today. I'll even throw out a thanks to Ryan for his company at the end and great clean-up skills

All in the all the kit wasn't awful to install. All the tolerances were very tight; the kit seems to be a pretty quality overall (everything is new nothing is re-manned) and it wasn't too painful on my wallet.

The rotors are massive and bigger then the fronts. I ended up having to put the lug nuts on to set the rotor flat against the axle so they would be perfectly strait. Not sure how much I liked that but I'll try to clean off the end of the axle to see if it helps any.

Still to be installed is the new hard line and the two stainless braided lines that connect the hard line to the caliper (bling blang). The kit also came with new wheel studs as well. When all is said and done this is a brand new axle.

Will and I also took a trip to middle-ish CT to pick up some other parts.....

does this kit have an ebrake?

[HeavyMetal]

it does as an option, but jon opted to go without it

[clean4drxj]

ahh ok thanks Will!

[ninetysix-ex-jay]

does this kit have an ebrake?

The e-brake would have increased the price up about another $100+

Actually the owner of the company talked me out of going for it. He said that sometimes with wheeling mud, water, and rust can sometimes prevent the brake from releasing. In all honesty I don't even recall the last time I used a parking brake

[clean4drxj]

thats valid point and I agree with that being that it's an auto.

IF you ever decide you want a ebrake, not sure on how the e brake arm on this kit is from the 8.8, go buy some cable clamps, cut off the spring around the cable, use a set of channel locks, and bend the e brake cable around the arm, and tighten the clamp. I did one side on mine, and it works decently

There actually is no parking brake lever. Those calipers are off the front of a 86 caddy
