yea..i agree about the rear hub...i dont have abs anymore so i can get the cheaper hubs. ill be upgrading to slotted rotors and hawks in the future, just wanna see how well the setup works first. make sure i dont have to buy new calipers and stuff, these area junk yard set.
as for the rear brake line, i dont like sloppy sets or slack in my lines, so i measured where the rubber line went to, routed it the way i wanted, then CUT the hard line and reflared it so it would fit right back in. i had CONSIDERED drilling a hole and mount a small flage at this locatin, every other location on the car where the rubber line meets the hard line there is a flange with a clip to hold it. i think it would look better this way, but as it is its pretty tight and outta the way so i may just leave it i dont know....... maybe ill put the bracket there when i buy new bearings :p haha
glad you like it though, sorry it took me so long.
