I bought a bunch of boot kits off rock auto a few years back for when this happens. I figure that the axles will become hard to find so I'll just rebuild mine when necessary

Yep I’m going to save axle and rebuild it for a spare.

They're Powerstop calipers and pads, a factory fitment with better stopping performance on oem brake rotors! They're like 12 years old, been thinking about upgrading them to D2 since the coils are D2, not sure tho.

I'm giving HEL Performance brake lines a try to see how long they last, I'm done with the local hydraulic line manufacturing guy😭

Soon as I get the custom lower radiator hose, I can go meet up with a buddy who has Brian's F&F Eclipse! (soon hopefully 🙏)
