"if persay you plan to give it a true thrashing you would be advised to change the position of the brake master to inline with the car rather then against. move it 90° towards the firewall".
Are you kidding? My wheels are going to fall off from the shoddy wheel bearing instalation long before my car pulls 12G's stopping causing the resivoir to suck in air.Dominic Toretto rocks a MaZda and his cell phone number starts in "(323)"

Played with the car for a few hours. Got more then I thought I would done. Polished off my remote reservoir project. (attached the Wilwood remote reservoir brake hose). Bolted the struts to the rear suspension and bolted the whole works into the car. Attached my Ractive strut tower brace too. The trailing arms are half on, I need to buy some bolts for the car side.

Use some Cunifer for the brake lines. Rust proof like stainless, but easy to flare like normal steel lines. It's a copper/nickel alloy that Volvo and Audi use on their cars.

Skuce: thanks for the tip. I am just going to run normal brake line though. Normal brake line lasts forever (in my experience) when you just drive the car in the summer.
I have spring fever! It has been abnormally warm March, I know this is just a cruel warm tease and it will likely snow again, but I am enjoying it anyway. Played for a few hours at the garage. Painted the rear bearing hubs, the hats of the rear rotors, rear calipers brackets and rear bearing dust caps. Gearing up to be ready to plumb the brakes on Sunday. Rollin the car around on all four wheels felt like a great acomplishment. (even without the rear brakes on yet).
