I would suggest buying copper crush washers for the brake lines as opposed to the washers in the picture.

scratch that, I see copper washers in the first picture.. Good Luck!

Yea, can't wait.... the kit has been setting for 3 mos now, so figured it was time, can't do much in the PNW now, raining all the time, so perfect for projects, along with headers and the HSR waiting for install, going to be a wonderful winter... She go in for painting in march, so trying to get all the projects completed before then...

This job is one my wish list, but first I'll need new wheels, C5 brakes won't fit with sawblades.


"Setup was thru Chris @ Superior..."

Just curious, what was the total cost?
