            Larger police brakes? IIRC only the calipers are different, they use a larger 70mm metal piston and different pads. The caliper is the same as used on the Mark 7's and Mustang SVO. (from what I could tell) The rear drums are definately larger, 11"x 1.5 or 2" The towing package/PI/ wagons shared those rear brakes.

                        Yeah you're right, just calipers. It's 2" drums I believe, though I could be wrong on that too.

                          Moog sedan cargo coil springs on all four
                          Monroe Sensatrac shocks in back
                          KYB GR2 shocks in front
                          Stock front sway bar
                          1" rear PI sway bar

                          If it's possible to find polyurethane bushings, the front and rear ends will get rebuilt.

                          Btw, I'll remind everyone of www.p-s-t.com, just in case they have something for us. I haven't had a chance to call them, yet.

                            For springs and shocks. They also have rear control arms that might be able to be used on our cars. Gotta call them and take some measurements of the rear arms...too bad I do not have a apare set to measure...
