the 4 eyed e brakes are easy as pie to adjust just a bolt on it to tighten, while the aero nose stangs need to be wound up causing it to be a PITA to do. another reason that the 4 eye rocks!!!

First off, this is the 108970 time Kyle has said his rear is toast
Second, the Ebrake is a funny since his first 1/4 run he left his on.... haha
Third, my Fox does not have a e brake since I changed to turbocoupe disc : ( but yay for high compression!

Anyways Kyle, those gears were just dying to get into your car and since you know how to throw them in, your saving lots of money!

Man that sucks about the rear end, at least yours partially worked. My rear end literally exploded, sounded like a gun went off. Both gears had 0 teeth left. It was quite sad. btw my ebrake still works

did your car have the 7.5? I just did the 7.5 to 8.8 swap last year. went very well. The only thing that sucks is re-routing the brake line.
