I need new pants, those brakes look amazing.

Is that the FG 6 pot conversion kit? I've been seeing them around a bit lately.

Thats how I got onto them, I found a few of the Ford boys were using them and highly recommending them - digging deeper I found alot of drifter using them also.

Initially I was going to be buying Wilwoods from Castlemaine Rod Shop - But I stepped away once I got on to the blokes from PSR

They were really good to talk too (from start to finish they were always there in a helpful way) When it came to fitting everything, it all went on without any hassles whatsoever, didn't have to use extra shims, it just all slotted together like it was from factory.

As for braking - you can really feel them bite - its pulls up the barge like no tomorrow.

I had the exhaust re-done awhile ago. I had asked for Hooker mufflers to be fitted in the centre with my Flowmaster shorty on the end - but when I collected the car he said he couldn't get them to fit and work, which I knew might have been an issue due to the size. I wasn't happy with the note, so I removed the two centre mufflers completely and just kept the Flowmaster on the rear. damn did it liven her up..

I've tried recording but the iphone speaker just goes 'nope'
