    Ivory, you don't have rear discs already? Figured you would have done that already.

    And OP, the car is coming along great. What's in store next?

    You honestly dont need rear discs until you hit the higher tq levels then it becomes a necessity

    Drums are still used on big trucks, they stop just fine, just not repeatedly. The big advantage to the disks is pad changes are way easier. The Brembo's, and all monoblock calipers, take simple pad changes to a whole new level, and I'm convinced all cars should use monoblock calipers, because they are better.

    Man, your G is coming out nicely!

    Quick question, I just recently installed an eBay catback to my Galant. How did you bolt on the very last mount? the one close to the tip of the muffler

    I converterd to disc 1 the drum are ugly n disc makes the car look better and 2 its easy to work on than the drums plus the stopping power helps with future mods im thinking bout and djaltamira all the hangers matched up perfectly on mine so i juss mounted them the way they go no problems

    I really like those headlights! And some 3rd gen tails would be super sexy too.
