Don't know yet, I finished it yesterday and too it back to the body shop so they could finish assembling the front clip. Stops ok for cheap pads and bad rotors. Its god a Ford LSD. I'll get pics when I got time and finish it all up.

I think that if you enter the yard you have to pay the $2. If you look in the back of the local phone book, there is coupons to get in free. My dad actually went around and got a bunch of them for the coupons. They have engine hoist dollies out there with big wheels on them so you could probably just do it by yourself.
