Cool, then you can just bolt it up and go, eh? Still, id wait for a
weekend to start on it so you can test drive them to see if the brakes
are OK before you trek off to work and find out your rears lock up or
Don't do enough for you. (Id suspect the later would happen if anything.)

HINT: its a good time to flush out the brake fluid with fresh fluid!!
Yummy!!

Its wierd. I got 2 copies of this message. The one that came directly
