Nice work! I'd say the sport rears are more desirable than the fronts these days. Glad they found a home.

Built pressure today and went for a test drive around the block a few times. Brakes seemed to work decent until I lost the pedal! Drove it home to find this. Can't pull my wheel off yet until I buy a new jack

What looks like its leaking? Car sits to low for a better view lol

I can't tell :(

I noticed that my RR wheel was "oily" and got all excited.

Just glad I found the cuplrit, hopefully I can get my jack tomorrow and the brakes Mobius has sent me show up soon.

My money is on RicanmiataRacer coming back from the abyss and sabotaging your car by stealing your fluids....
