I just did the install on mine. The mounting brackets were not machined properly and it took alot of work to get them to mount properly and i think one of the pre-fab lines has a leak. Im going to take it back apart and look at it tomarow to make sure.

On the mounting hub from the factory there is some casting trash left there. I found the right size drill bit and cleaned it out. Very tight clearances but I noticed all four factory mounts had different clearances. I hope your brake line is OK. Pasta

Got everything taken care of. THe brackets wouldnt fit properly because of the messy castings on the spindles. Just went out to bed the pads and rotors. I like the way it feels and stops, seems very linear. Only complaint so far is too much pedal travel but maybe after i bleed them again it will help. As far as BBKs go this is a nice kit.

You def still got some air in the system. You shouldnt have any increase in pedal travel.

Thanks for clearing up the bracket issue for us

The install went very good and I found it very easy. Of course after installing Crawford headers everything is easy now. Should have it on the road in a few days after I get all the make up baseball games done. Sure looks purdy in the garage. Thanks for a well engineered BBK. Cant wait and see the car off the jack stands. Pasta

All done on the install and getting the brake's bedded in. All I can say is "WOW"
Very balanced system, I never thought that brakes could do there job with so little effort.
The stopping power is just unbelievable. Plus they look so bad azz" on the car.
