    That would be great, I was depending on your tech article to get me through the disc install for the rear, went to hunting for it and it was gone, so I am kinda lost on it, if ya'll have ran them for 4 years then I don't see a problem.

    Got them from Summit and paid $123 and I'm stuck with the same color 24/7 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G2980/?rtype=10

    I used 3M 2-faced tape to mound them to my early solid package tray
