Making room in the garage... we sold the front brakes that came with the kit from Factory Five Racing. They're going to another Factory Five Roadster Owner who bought a base kit. The Wilwood Brakes we got are going to be a huge improvement over these.

Tonight we installed the Independent Rear Suspension Lower Control Arms and IRS Tie Down Loop Kit (ordered recently from Breeze Automotive). The tie down loop kit is two laser cut stainless steel loops that mount under the rear lower control arm to chassis bolt or nut.

A quick search on Amazon and I got on of these: OTC 4623 CV Joint Banding Tool & Cutter. Two days later...

Tonight Christine and I installed the Wilwood Front Brakes.

Christine and I put safety wire on the two-piece Wilwood rotors. This will make sure that the bolts never back out unexpectedly.

Today I noticed a pool of liquid grease on top of the passenger-side ball joint. After doing some research it turns out it is normal to have a little liquid oil separate from the grease and seep past the grease fitting. Glad it turned out to be nothing.
