Sounds like it would be sweet. And maybe I didn't need to know that... <grin> I'm already $1000 Cnd. into this brake job/front end partial rebuild, so suffice it to say, I'm committed. Or should be committed..... <grin> But, I will have replaced almost everything from the ground up to, but not including, the upper control arm. I found it interesting too, that the core "charge" for each caliper was $150 Cnd. I was quite surprised. Especially considering that the actual cost of each caliper was $111 |
