well, pedal feel is mushy right now (haven't installed mc yet), but that will hopefully change. I'm happy so far w/the conversion, and even happier w/the price (less than 400$, fully rebuilt, all 4 corners, mc included, rectification, punched holes, axxis ultimate pads, spl ss lines). Hopefully in summer I can finish the whole thing and install new bushings while at it.

So, ya like it?

I got everything in mexico. To tell you the truth the "mushy" pedal feel to me feels the same way as the stock rubber lines w/stock calipers. So in retrospect, it's not so bad. Would I recommend it? Yes. Is it necessary? I really don't know, i've seen many ppl run w/o them and no problems.

So the tally is like thisall 4 calipers +all 4 discs and rear drum assembly +mc......$100spl brakelines x4 from http://www.splparts.com...............$96 axxis ultimate pads x4..........................................................$70holes, +reconditioning discs.................................................$40misc...paint, fluid, grease, etc...............................................$30

Total......................................................................................$336

no not yet....i'll probably do it in the summer and replace bushings while at it. You pretty much have to tear down the whole rear to get brakes back there.

They're German ATS. They make wheels for porsche and Audi, however, I have not found out what particular model they are. If anyone finds out, let me know.
