=====================================================================

I used the front end kit from the outfit from Phoenix, Az. Performance 
Tech ? It's basically an SSBC kit. I'd probably do the Mopar swap if I 
had it to do again. On the plus side it was simple and well explained 
with all the parts but it did cost me and replacement parts aren't as 
easy to remember. It's Mustang as I recall. Sorry. 

Mine is non-power assisted except I usually use both feet and clench my 
teeth:) It does have a very hard pedal and the lines are flushed raw. It 
stops great though. Very straight with no pull and quite quick but I 
don't think I could lock 'em up if I wanted too.
