 brakes were easy install until i broke two bolts above the heat shield that needed to be drilled out. This is the season opener for me. Too bad the rear brake looks bigger than the front  time for new front brakes!

I need help! How hard was it to get the old drums off? I'm in the middle of the conversion but the drums are stuck on there. Do you really need the e-brake cable from a gt? From the outside (haven't been able to pry the drums off) the cables look exactly the same.

From the outside (have'nt been able to pry the drums off) the cables look exactly the same. try taking the bolts out of the calipers and screwing them into the holes on the front of the drum. im not sure about the cables because i had gt cables connected already. |
