Used his air ride on a Ghia.  Good quality kits with good instructions.

I installed the Bad brakes on Joe Cormiers ex Buddy Hale 55. Machining, fit and overall quality, really really nice. One down side with the Wilwood calipers, they do squeal a bit as i've seen with other kits that run Wilwoods. I'd guess a different compound may help.

Thanks Lanny for the kind words.

As for the squealing, normal calipers have one of those stainless sleeves be hind the pads to deaden any sound and you can add anti squeal to the back of them. But not with wilwood. But I did put some of that stuff behind the pad and it made a huge difference. You could pass that on to Joe, he might be able to do that pretty easily.
Take care.
