Well that was a mission hahaha...
nah it wasn't that bad actually, only things i had to do was get new brake lines made up, because the others were in pretty bad nick and i couldnt even blow through one of em lol.
so two new flexible brake lines from the callipers to solid lines set me back $90.
Also callipers were a bit tight, so i stripped them down, greased all the slides and made sure there was no pitting on the pistons.
The only prob i had was after i put it all on and went for a test drive the brakes were coming on and staying on. supafatto and 1200rc helped me out there and turned out that for disc front end with the 11/16 master cylinder needs to have the check valve removed... but all on now and works a treat... good improvement whilst still saving pennies for whole MADDAT front end lol

I'm about to do the same thing in my sedan and wanted to know how it all worked out.
Are you happy with the ride and ride height with the king springs?
Did you replace the strut inserts? Same or shorter?
Got any photos?
Thanks, Tom
