Default Latest Info on Disc Brake Upgrade

Heres the scoop.
Rear Axle is now installed and unable to finins due to the availability of special brake hoses. He went to 4 different dealerships and found a 5th that will be able to get the hoses by friday. He said the rotors were in good shape thats why he just had them turned instead of replacing them. Also the toughest part of the install was the E-Brake Cables cause they are different than the ones for the Drum Brake system. He had to remove the Rear seats cause the cables run under the carpet to the E-Brake handle. Depending on what year PT you have the install is a lot easier, if you have a 2003-2005 and are using 2003-2005 parts for your upgrade. The difference is the connection on the E-Brake cable so you don't have to go thru all that. I will get the PT back on Monday and all the other stuff that I am having done will all be completed. I tell you I could kill that Guy but he in the owner and the only one that works on my car. Thats why he takes so long
