TCE Big brake kit install - Page 2

they dont make a rear kit due to the integrated parking brake. its do able but custom.

There are kits for the rear, but you would loss your e-brake. Best option was Warmongers adaptors that allowed you to use the larger stock front rotor in the rear. In reality you don't really need to upgrade the rear unless you road race the car because the fronts provide more then enough bite. I miss my BBK.

plus the front does the majority of the braking so having a larger rear kit isnt really necessary.

I've been dying for you to get that kit on your car lol.
I'd love to get one of their kits, damn that looks good. Nice work!

fordrule · 03-20-2008, 03:16 PM

those look like 278mm on the rear...and 300mm or larger....not sure if those are 12 or 13in kit on the fronts

it looks like the new updated willwood calipers. nadthomas had the older style willwood calipers...or i could be totally wrong

Damm, you're right!

I guess the pictures were just so damm sexy I forgot to read.

I'll be doing the Warmonger front and rear upgrade in the near future.

I have the Warmonger rear kit, but I haven't installed it yet. I'll do it along with new struts and my Roush rsb here in the spring. Still undecided what to do on the front.

i checked the back and they looked non directional... forgot to check before front install... i will just have to switch them when i get a chance...

The kit is the 13.0" x .81 Street Sport kit with FSL calipers and the rear is the kit you can buy from the website.

Last i checked, Todd had an extra set of rear already done so if you are ready for an upgrade, give him a call. (and if you ask nicely he might give you a discount.

)

Thanks for all the comments guys! I cant wait for this car to be completely done so you guys can enjoy it.

keep the comments or questions coming.

As far as the install goes, i never changed brakes in my life but with a bit of help from how tos, we did the job in one day.

The larger rear rotors help even out the brake biasing similar to what it is stock.

I have the warmonger kit front and rear on the Contour.
