That stock MC has got to go that is why you get that no dive on brake check
 

I believe it has a bit to do with the ride height/suspension setup as well.  The car stops fine ie does not take longer to come to a full stop @ certain speeds than before...

Any why all the waiting on parts


Convenience ;)
I have 4 cars....I'm in NO rush.  Even if I was going to run to the parts store it won't be till THursday.  Working nights and watching my kid for a few hours every morning when I get home takes a good chunk of time out of my workdays.  I gotta sleep too ;)

I was thinking, isnt the low fluid sensor on the reservoir? You could have gotten the 93 Cobra M/C to get the 1" bore and metric fittings, then swapped the reservoir to get your low fluid sensor.
It's Gumby's fault.

Looks awesome. But just so you can see what I see this is a pic of and 85 SVO brake caliper we have on the shelf at work.
That looks like what you got. How much did they cost you? Thought they would have atleast given you the Steel piston unit!

The stuff all came together.  I can't find a price for the calipers themselves from SSBC....

AFAIK only Maximum Motorsports comes with the steel inserts already....I know they can be purchased separately.  Honestly the only place I've heard of the regular ones not sitting correctly is the internet.  Guys I know who work on Lincolns on a regular basis have told me they almost always wear evenly...

The ride height looks good :D  Did you need caster/camber plates with those springs or did everything align right with no problems?
