I have had a little bit of a brake pull in the past few months, so I decided I'd finally fix it. Since I am assuming everything is original, I figured I would replace the calipers and the hoses. Also got new endlinks because I need those too. Once I do this the only thing not new on the front end is the D/S ball joint, and for now it seems okay. Hopefully I can put this stuff on today...

The only thing I don't like about the brake hoses, and I didn't realize this before but I am going to have to redo the holes in the bracket because my car is sensor lowered.
 
The sway bar links you have are the ones that we warn against getting...they do not last long

the TRW aren't bent like that and look exactly like stock ones

and why not just rebuild the calipers? $8 for a rebuild kit and it only takes about a minute to blow it apart, clean it, rebuild it
 
Our parts department showed the TRW ones on backorder, those were the ones I wanted originally. I don't really know on the calipers, just felt like buying new...
 
Not to critisize your decision...but wouldn't rebuilding the calipers have allowed you a bit of extra cash to maybe..go braided brake hoses instead of stock?
 
I didnt have to pay anything for these parts... I have a guy that I trade parts with for credit...
 
Well in that case I need both front UCAs, hook a Brutha up! LoL
 
Its the same hook up that got me those chrome bumper mouldings and my P/S pump.
