I managed to set light to my front brakes, there was smoke pouring out from everywhere the brakes melted and when ya put ya foot on the brake it went to the floor and did nothing, luckily i was nearly home so when i pulled up the drive in a cloud of smoke my brake pads were smoldering!!!!! | |

Im on my 3rd set now after 3years and 40K miles!! They seem to warp. I do give my brakes some hammer though, not sure if the front disc's glow but I can get my RED DOT Competion pads to fade like fook with red dot 6 groovers 256x24. | |

You need a conversion kit that PVD sells and weld it to your rear axle. | |

Bin rear drums and fit Brake discs. I had 3 set of rear brake cylinders but I'm going to replaced that crap for brake discs next time | |
