I dont think that you saw the white truck after the brake upgrade...
Todd at TCE Totally did a great job working with me on these. 2 piece 14" rotors, 6 piston calipers, braided stainless lines.
Truck stops incredible now.
This one is going to have to stick with the Crown Vic stuff in the front and Mustang stuff in the rear. Ill likely have to do some aggressive pads, especially with the manual brakes but want to see how it does before I start making even more changes.
I did a few things different. I mounted the rear lower control arm mounts at 45 like they are on the crown vic for proper alignment geometry.
I elected to do the SPC Camber adjustment bolts. They are a pain in the ass to install but get another 2.5 or 3° of amber adjustment allowing you to go lower without the negative effect of negative camber.
Double adjustable front struts on this truck as well so should be able to really dial it in.
I learned a lot from the other truck....a ton actually. All the little things add up. I also moved the entire cradle back 1" from the other truck to properly center the wheel in the wheel well.
