Gotcha. Thanks for the information RJ, I really appreciate it. I ordered the caliper overhaul kit and am going to try and rebuild the front calipers ASAP.
I went ahead and installed SS lines and bled the brakes and clutch with ATE SuperBlue fluid. Brakes feel rock solid, but I am going to need some time to get used to not having ABS... way too easy to lock them shits up.
Wheels and tires are FINALLY on the car and I'm pretty pleased with the appearance of the car now. Tires feel grippy and connected which also makes bumps a bit more noticeable. No rubbing that I can tell after a quick drive, I will know for sure after the autocross tomorrow.
For future reference, what did you guys use to block off the brake lines from leaking while you were doing the caliper rebuild?
