Braided SS lines front and rears
Hawk HP+ pads all around
FRPP Brake duct kit
Installed this weekend, bedded yesterday, and rebled tonight for good measure. Feels great, can't wait to get back on track.

Backing definitely opens up the disc on the backside, and does a good job of directing the air to the hub. Should help a bunch.

Solid build. You'll love the cooling kit after 10 minutes or so of hot lapping when everyone's brakes start to fade fast and yours are still going strong. Hawk pads...maybe hit or miss. Do well on the track, but sure are noisy on daily duty. Most importantly is track performance though!

How was the install of the duct kit? I'm on the fence about installing one myself since my car doesn't see the track much.

Looks great, Joe. What brake lines did you go with?

No bad at all. Worst was popping the old plates out of the bumper. Trimmed on the plastic inner fender liner a bit, but no drama.

Only real issue was the fact that Steeda opened the box to put in the invoice, catalogs, and banner. All that would have been OK, but they didn't bother to tape it back up so my backing plates were missing from the open box.

While the kit was delivered on the 3rd day, it took another 8 days and a bunch of emails and calls to get the replacement parts. Arrrrgh. Ended well, but they pawned the replacement of the missing parts off on Ford.

J&M via American Muscle. They put the brackets on upside down, but they are only attached with 2 screws so I was able to flip them easy enough.

People actually do work on their car with the space saver jack? I didn't know anyone would put in all that work instead of just buying the $60 hydraulic floor jack!
