I sprayed the hats of the rotors with flat black... It looks GREAT
I'll take pics tomorrow. I am installing them in the morning.
The only thing that puzzles me is the pin for each caliper/bracket connection. How do you put that in? Does anyone know the pin i am talking about? I guess its the pin to hold the caliper to the bracket...

Hoss, there is only one pin, not two...or the only pin i can think of there is only one. I might be wrong...probably am wrong.

Yup guys. You both helped. And i confirmed with this link

I understand it all now. I kinda figured that's how it worked. I just needed a little help
Seems like a piece of cake...
And wtf are banjo bolts? I thought that the banjo bolt is the bolt holding the brake lines to the caliper itself... But someone told me that the bolts that hold the bracket to the spindle are the banjo bolts...
EDIT: Hoss i only have 1 pin for each caliper...

idk what the **** the banjo bolts are, but you can get a new rod and clip from Ford if you need it, but I've reused the same c-clip every single time
I had to get a bigger C clamp for the fronts, mine wouldn't reach all the way around.
Other than that, should go down really easily. I had a bitch of a time putting Steeda brake pads in, and I believe Steeda's are the nice racing compound, but the backing plate had to be ground a little to fit well enough.
Whenever I run brakes from Autozone (good enough for DD duty), they fit in perfect, and slide right on.
Either way, good luck HP.
