also worked a good bit on my brake upgrade, i will be switching to the dual piston front calipers from Montero as well as the full rear disk brake set up from axle to axle. and because of these massive upgrades to each corner i figured it was probably a good idea to upgrade to the Montero master cylinder as well. My factory Mighy Max one was a heavy cast iron unit with a 15/16th inch bore, and the newer Montero one was aluminum and had a bigger 1 inch bore which should lead to some much better pedal feel. i had to swap over and bend a few of the hardlines as well but nothing to complicated.
began the process of cleaning up and painting my front calipers to get them ready to be installed and then putting them together and loading them with the new pads
and then it was install day!!! all the hard work and time spent with parts and gathering parts is about to pay off. i put my whole front end back together with all 100% rebuilt or 100% brand new parts, it will be as new as possible besides the showroom floor LOL
Parts:
Brand new factory upper control arms and ball joints
Lower control arms with brand new energy suspension bushings and Moog ball joints
Newer spindles fully rebuild with brand new Timken bearings inner and outer, new Beck/Arnley wheel seals and brand new front rotors
New lowering springs with Belltech shocks
Rebuilt Montero two piston front calipers
Upgraded from factory mighty max cast iron 15/16 master cylinder to a Montero aluminum 1 inch master cylinder
Cleaned and painted front sway bar and toe bars with all new energy suspension bushings and Endlinks
Well that's all i have for now but more to come soon!! i've got a Stainless Steel brake line kit on the way as well as the whole rear disk system to tackle. will have more updates and pics soon!
