    I saw what you did there.

    You used "straight" and Jerry in the same sentence. That takes mad skillz!

    I'm wrapping up the brake line tonight.
    If it doesn't leak, and it stops, testing is over

    Awesome. Can't wait to hear back. I'm ready to at least get my first part ordered so I can say my long awaited brake upgrade is under way.

    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the new setup, Zack. This should be a nice upgrade from what I'm currently running.

    It's no different than anyone who has a Baer kit.

    We need to find powdercoated calipers that dont say Corvette on them.

    I can find non-coated calipers without the lettering but not coated.

    So just get the non-coated and then have a local shop do it. Most places around here charge 20-30$ for calipers to be coated.

    I plan on painting mine with caliper paint. Not sure what color yet.

    Having them coated locally is an option, but depending on the finish they have they may need to be stripped or blasted, which may also require them to be disassembled and rebuilt. All of which increases turn around time and is inconvenient. Where as precoated calipers would be extremely convienent and have the potential to be more cost effective.

    Still, if no other option is possible local will work.

    I'm also reasonably sure I know the answer to this, but any chance of developing some to work on 02- panthers as well? I know the market isn't as big as it is for the 03+/Marauder, but you could probably sell a few of them

    I'm at $649 using Wearevers from Advance Auto Parts (IIRC they are lifetime), and $567 going cheap-ass on RockAuto without warranty. That's all-in with bolts, brackets, hoses, and fittings; shipped.

    The question is: does buying the cheaper rotors/pads/calipers negate the whole point of doing this project?
