When I bought the car, the running gear, suspension and steering were all in totally stock condition. After I painted it, I did nearly all of the upgrades at the same time. The rear discs look great but I didn't notice much of a braking improvement over the 10" drums. Maybe I would have if I hammered the car more! The fast ratio arms were a huge difference. It went from 3 1/2 turns to just over 2 1/2 lock to lock. Effort increased. The steering simply reacted faster.
