Currently waiting on the Focus SVT Centric Plain 125 rotors for the rears and new stock pads but heres a before and after of the caliper brackets. I picked them up from a junk yard and they were pretty rough but after a couple baths of Evapo-Rust and wire brushing they were ready to paint.

Took some time the other day to install the CMBuildz brake ducts, they fit even with the AP calipers. Now I have to figure out the actual ducting but I'll probably just go with some inlets on the skirt under the front bumper.

But before that I just have to wait for the DNA tubular control arms to show up!

DNA Lower Control Arms are finally installed but just as my test drive was ending I heard the same sound as the bad ball joint I just fixed. Luckily its just a tie rod end ball joint, the brake heat damaged the boot like on the control arm ball joint that broke. Hopefully my heat mitigation efforts pay off so I don't have to do this again lol
