Really Noobz?...You're gonna make a statement where the meat and potatoes of what you got/had on your plate to stop your car (10" rotors, single piston calipers, and drum brakes ) would compare to 11.65" minimum rotors on all four corners?
What was Ford thinking when they went ahead and arbitrarily upgraded all of those SN's to that config, when all they had to do was to call you and ask how you got your 10" drilled rotor'd, green hawk padded/Duralast ceramic rear shoe'd, fox to outperform their factory Cobra stopping power?
You go on ahead, You skid-mark layin', 15" tire flat-spottin', Fox stoppin' fool.....
(Sorry about that "A", somebody has to keep Noobz from making "back-in-my-day" statements for his own good.)
First off i dont like i LOVE this thread. I lost my dad 16 years ago march and hes the reason i am into this stuff . Your boys car is come along way he should be proud. Now i think hes crazy for not taking the pony rs and you are too for taking them off that beautiful calypso car of yours. Keep updating man nothing but smiles reading this thread.
This is such a great thread. I wish my dad had been into this stuff. My son just turned two and is very much into cars. I hope someday we can have a project together like this! Looking great so far!
ok, I reread the thing, it still makes sense to me,.....how is it the lamest, I wasn't bashing the ops' stuff I was challenging your statement........This is likely the lamest post I've seen you make. Reread.
To hear some folks tell it, it's a lottery odds miracle that any of us survived.

maybe THAT'S why you think its lame-o?
oh I don't know........maybe the fact that one of those portly SN 95 bodies weighed 600 lbs more than a fox notch might have had something to do with that........If you couldn't make a Fox stop at the same distance as a stock 94/95 then it's because you didn't try.
I'll try to soon. For some reason my you tube acct is acting stupid and I can't get any video up. I think it may have something to do with the phone... When My note II died they replaced it with a ... note II, and it's worse than the first one. I think it's time to look at iphones..That reminds me of how my Fox acted after a year(s) long hiatus.... post up an after now that brakes etc are done,

No on the pads.. after cleaning them up there was still enough to use, so I'm going to see how they work. . Yes on the cylinders, they are all new and the whole assy was cleaned up and inspected, just didn't catch a pic before buttoning it up.
Here is a quick refresher on drum brake part names from someone who remembers driving cars with 4 wheel manual drums. (And I hate trying to sell folks what they need when they stubbornly insist they need something like "blinker fluid".)
The cylinders at the wheels are wheel cylinders. Slave cylinders usually have to do with a hydraulic clutch set up.
The semi circle things that hold the friction material and rub against the inside of the drum are not pads. Pads are supposed to be flat for disc brakes. They are called shoes because you used to drag your shoes to stop the car, and Mustangs should have shoes on their hooves.
Thank you, I feel better now. Here is to 4 wheel disc brakes!
