Thats awsome!! Im wanting to do the same. I have the set up under the charger, and Im wanting to swap the strange stuff from it to my demon. Will I be able to take the 11 inch drums off my demon, and just swap it out? What about a proportioning valve for the rear disks? Also the charger has 5/8 studs will that be a problem since Im not planning on using them on the demon. Im just taking the charger off the track, and would like the disks on the car I drive the most.

If you have the 8.75 or dana 60 then everything bolt's right on, but you have to have the Green bearing's on the axel's and those are included in the kit,, as far as 5/8 stud's the disc's are drilled and slotted for both 5/8 and 1/2,,nice nice stuff.

43 lbs thats quite a bit for unsprung weight.
drum and backing plate assembly was 33.5# each side, the disc,caliper and bracket are 12# each side. I figure between this and the front end, I should of knocked a 100#s or so off of the car, I have yet to weighted the front end stuff.

you sure the drum weight was 33.5 total each side and not total? I just weighed mine on a scale (one side) and it showed 18 lbs. I didnt weigh the emergency brake lines. Great you did loose the weight tho
