I got the booster and MC painted and put on.  I got the other steering column with tilt put on.  Found out buddy already had lowering springs on, so getting the offset bushing ordered so I can put the 15:1 rack in place and hook to new column.  Cleaned and painted the sway bar clamps and ordering some new bushing for that also with the end links.  I will take some more pics soon.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I don't know, I took the calipers off the 84TB parts car and the rotors were already on the car.  Do they look like Lincolns?

I was going by the bearing hub sticking out as far as it does, and that it's one piece. I don't know, just guessing.  :)
