Are your brakes a little more rear biased now since those rears are made for bbks?

In the straight line tests that I have done:
(1) panic 60mph-0
(2) medium 120mph-60

It never felt like the rear wanted to swap on me and the car does not nose dive.

Don't fotget that my fronts are RB's 2 piece which are 2mm thicker than stock with directional cooling vanes.

Since not having an infrared temp sensor, I was unable to compare fronts to rear temperatures, but both have about the same bluing from 120mph stopping.

The 1999 Fd brakes are almost identical to what I have now.
A friend has such a temp gauge and I plan to test with hime some day.

While I am replacing my diff to chassis bushings, I took this picture of the rears.

This summer I replace the RB OEM fronts with their big brake kit.
