Those brakes are sick! You got the same setup on the front?

Not at the moment, I have the standard Ghia ones, but I'm planning for the matching ones in the not too distant future. :thumbs:

Careful with all that braking power at the back, if you get on your brakes really hard you may find yourself swapping ends.

:thumbs: I don't normally drive it that hard, but yes it's something to be aware of for sure. The pedal feel is much firmer than with the drums and the travel is less too.

Here's my old 86 Turbo setup. I sold this kit to upgrade to the 87-92 Turbo setup. However, it's taken longer than I planned on.
