Anyone install this kit? How do ya like it? Any other items that you had to buy? I'm thinking of installing a kit for my 69mach1. Any other suggestions welcome. Thanks

The kit itself is easily installed. I ran into 3 issues:

1. The driver's side axle was difficult to remove, and I had to rent a slide hammer.

2. The stock brake lines will need to be modified to work or replaced with custom. I bent my originals to make them work. Since installing the brakes I have removed the lines entirely to restore the underside of my car. I will go back with custom fabricated lines that will fit and look much better.

3. I had to modify my emergency brake as the cable was about 2" too short on each side. I lengthened the adjusting rod by welding on a few inches of threaded rod to clear this issue.

All relatively easy to fix and the brakes themselves took about 2 hours of work. I recommend replacing rear bearings/seals while you have the axles out.
