Today, I did the brakes. Hating Ford brakes - I have owned several Fords and they always skimp on the brakes - I tried a budget upgrade on my stock DTR. Here's what I did:
StopTech front rotors, slotted (appear to be well made but they are from China)
StopTech 09 pads all around
Painted the stock calipers all around
SS braided lines, 4 corners, from the forum contributor TCE
It will be a while before I know how all this turned out. Painting the calipers is nice but the castings are so rough that it won't win any prizes. It does look much better than stock.
Was going to go with Hawk pads but saved sizeable bucks on the StopTechs. Time will tell whether I was penny wise and pound foolish.
Break-in is the issue. Either you have to find a deserted road and perform a bunch of controlled stops (hard to do in Houston) or drive like Grandpa for 500 miles. Either way, I'll have to let everybody know how it comes out.
Wow!
So much for a little paint correction.
Only 68k on the clock too!
I guess he took that little rust bubble on the roof serious
Remember kids- if you want it done right go to the pros
Glad I got her in before it was worse.

Compression test, low 200's on the right side and mostly low 200's on the left side with the exception of 5 & 8 which were around 180-190. Changed out what I can only assume were 120k mile spark plugs while doing so. What a difference.
