    Re guarding the pulling to one side problem I had. After talking with a Wilwood tech person,I found not tight enough mounding bolts @ the right side caliper( the lock washers were not @ crush point! After tightening these down, no pulling!!:cool:

    Thanks for the comment,don't know if I'd call it art,but it does have a lot of hours of work, & more money into to it, than my wife wants to know about. Seems like it never ends,just when I think I'm done,I want to do something else.
    Well that's hot rodding,keeps me busy.:cool:

    yes there is a major difference...

    the rotor size increase alone is a major improvement, I have seen mods that just use a stock larger diameter rotor of another jap vehicle even a different make with the stock caliper.

    but adding the solid 4 piston caliper... dam dude!!! I miss my truck!!! My FJ Cruiser is awesome but dam I miss my 2wd... :(

    trust me any mod that gives you better brakes is worth it...
