I still don’t notice the big brake upgrade, but that may be only because I haven’t needed them in an emergency.  We now use the car just about every weekend, and even for little stuff like grocery runs, so be prepared to put many more mile on the car if you do these upgrades.

In normal driving, you really won't notice the difference. Panic stops or repeated high speeds stops are where these differnces start to pay off.

I missed this thread somehow? :clueless:   GREAT info though! Thanks for posting! :2thumbs:
I was put onto this thread from another member in my own thread  which is almost identical to yours.

Our cars sound like twins! :grinyes: I too have the ESPO plus 1 1/2 " springs , 1" TB 's etc... same brakes too. I think I'm going to get some Hotchkis parts and give them a try?

I thought about adding those upper control arms to my car, and still might.  Especially if you try them and they make a big difference. You are going to love those shocks.   Even the way it is, the car is great to drive.  Please let me know how the control arms work out for you. :thumbsup:
