Have you considered wilwood ?

This is what I am going to be getting soon, you can get them at a good price, don't go off the price on the wilwood website, I am going with the 14" because that is the max for 18" wheel's.

I was going with FORD racing kit because I thought there were more choices for pads. The kit I was looking at is $1800 from AM for front and rear. How much are the wilwood's? Do they have 15" for the front? I thought when I looked it would be $3600 for front and rear.

Have you had a chance to install your Watts link?

Yeah 3,600 is about right, from what I have been able to find wilwood is the only company that makes a 14" 4 piston rear kit, they don't have a 15" kit though but for me 14" is the max I can run.

As for the 4 piston rears, I know that probably overkill but to me when I see nice big brakes up front and tiny little guys out back it looks incomplete.

I got the axle tubes welded up and painted, it's installed and tonight I should be able to do the Watts link.

I think this is a great idea. I would love to check them out when you get them.

Will do I am still debating on the OPG, Balancer, and intake cam. It would lower my boost but keep the same power. I have to talk with Justin again about that. But first I am going to order the BBK and get the brakes done. Might as well wait for the temps to go down a bit.

Looking forward to hearing how you like the BMR watts link and how difficult the install is.

GT500 brakes installed. Still have sort of a soft pedal. I am going to bleed them once more. Thanks again To Don for coming over and helping out with the install Friday night and Saturday. I will post a thread in the brakes section with pictures.

No problem man. I can't get over how massive those calipers are! We need to give it a real good bleed and get rid of that soft pedal.

Thanks again. Looks like later in the week we will be back in good weather.

I decided just to post some pictures here of the big brakes. Not too bad of an install. Just takes time have to pull the axles to install the new plates for the rear calipers. Took awhile to get the crazy pin back in the diff. Also I think I got equal amounts of royal purple on the floor as well in the differential. ( not really but quite the pain getting it in). Actually the gear whine from when the dealer installed my 3.55's is gone now.

More pics of the rear brakes

Have to take some of them on the car. I did have to use the 1/4" spacers in the front.

Where did you get the kit from?

Got the H pipe installed today. Sounds awesome. I ended up having someone install it. $95 was worth it.

They did a great job and pretty quick I waited for it.
I tried breaking the bolts loose but with no air tools it wasn't happening.
