terrible

it was Matt93GXE's car. he and Kaleb did it together
it didn't turn out right though, after they installed the brakes, they didn't work at all; the problem is that he was testing them at high speeds so he couldn't stop in time
long story short: Kaleb ended up with several broken ribs, broken leg and lots of bruises, Matt is having trouble even breathing now after 2 collapsed lungs and broken ribs.

none of that actually happened, it worked out allright in the end
just look at the some of the other posts about it; they are several in this forum

he said he still has a little work to do on adjusting them correctly and getting the parking brake to work with them; he and Kaleb got pics that will probably be posted soon so check in soon for them
