ya, it's manual brakes. it brakes way better then it did with drums up front. it had a nasty pull to the right with drums.

i didn't go with the lowered front spring or spindles. since the firebirds sit lower than camaro's.

from what i read you want to go with the 2 inch drop spindles and then use full length springs. and if you think about it, it's way better way to go. your replacing the spindles anyways.
