<x-charset iso-8859-1>One thing to keep in mind when modifying your brake system... that alot of
people dont think of or ever have to deal with...
If you modify things that make your brakes "not stock or something that was
available on that car" like adding rear disc's you open yourself up to a
mega lawsuit if something happens. In states like NY anyway, where
everything is taken too serously, if you are involved in an accident of
which you have any degree of fault the insurance company will go over the
car with a fine tooth comb, if someone is hurt or killed, and they find
non-stock brakes you WILL be sued!
It will then be UP TO YOU to PROVE that the brakes were as good as or
better than what was on the car, I dont think many of us have the ability to
do this. It wont matter if the brakes even contributed to the accident, you
will still be liable, were talking insurance companies here! If you buy a
kit that was specifically sold for that vehicle you may have a leg to stand
on but I would still be wary...
I "Highly Reccomend" that for cars driven on the street, the brakes be
limited to what was ment to be used with that vehicle.
