Hey, w/ the Sport kit, are you suppose to get the E-Brake cables w/ it? AND, do both sides have an E-Brake setup? The cables for the E-Brake didn't come w/ mine, and both calipers have the E-Brake setup...

i was going to say, in your list it says track (13" 2 piston kit) for the front and sport (12" 2 piston kit) for the rear.....i was about to say wow. with 2 piece rotors that would be a nice way to spend 4,000.
so you got the 12" 2 piston sport kit up front and a stock pbr disc brake setup for the rear and the bracket that extends the mounting to hold a larger baer 12" rotor in the rear?

I got the Sport up front cuz the Track wouldn't clear my rims...12's should be sufficient enough, plus they'll look good behind the Smoothies 
Touring in the back b/c not much is needed in the rear anyway....I didn't want to get a huge kit for the back...stock from Baer will be fine...just got the kit to match the front

looks good, i agree about the front....in all truth i love the looks and power of the 13 but the hassles it incorporates aren't always worth it. it's rather difficult since you can't bolt a smaller wheel on them so i can't even align the 18's i have.

umm, unbolt caliper.
yank rotor off.
put 14" steelies (or whatever) on.
align car.
slip rotor back on, bolt up caliper and put the 18s back on.

Wow, I envy you. Great parts you have there.
Let me know when you how much of a difference you feel when you get all that stuff installed. I want to do a similar suspension upgrade (if I can in this lifetime).

ddn69: No loan needed. I had the cash, and it's now paid in full About to do another 6-8G's for the rest of the drivetrain, then I think I'm pretty much maxed out on what to do to her (well, as much as I know of NOW at least) hehe

ddn69: Daily cruiser that's garage kept. Never seen the rain (only when gotten caught in it) and never will see the killings of winter. I'm either doing a built up 350, or a bored/stroked 383 this winter. Should be the finishing touch
