Thanks again Jimmy.
Just been thinking about upgrading the brakes, gonna run bigger wheels than the standard 15" and i wanna be able to bring that extra weight to a safe stop. I'm a firefighter/paramedic and I've seen more than a few wrecks from guys throwing on huge tires and wheels without doing anything with the brakes and they end up plowing into someone.
I'm going to strip the front end down and go with replacing the ball joints, bushings and the other stuff. Start looking for drop spindles, springs, brake rotors and calipers.
