So after four months or more of having the brake kit sitting in boxes in the garage I decided to just have them installed. The local race shop is doing the work and all was going well till....
Well if you remember back when I first got the brake kit from the Roush/roea deal I was sent the wrong brake line and a severely scartched caliper. Well Roush made good on those and sent me a new caliper and the proper brake line. And apology for the miserable packaging they used for shipping.
Well the front install went without a problem this time. All the proper parts ~yippeee. But alas the rear setup is missing some special bolts for the caliper bracket extension dealy. So the car is gonna have to stay over night up on a lift and "hopefully" the proper bolts can be located tomorrow to finish the damn install off. The whole thing has been a huge headache but hopefully it will be completed early tomorrow morning and if it doesnt all fall off I am sure it will be well worth the 1800 bucks..sigh
And while inspecting I discovered a rubber bushing on the front strut/tie rod? that has about one third of it chunked out. So I guess I will be going in for some warranty work soon too. Tomorrow I will spend a bit more time checking all the suspension works for further wear/damage. And of course I discovered a large crack in the chrome on one the rims, but it is on the inside and is just the chrome.... Ok done pinning over the whole thing. Time for some beer drinking
