Not that it matters or that anyone cares let me explain how the 96 brake
upgrade should be classified by those who desire to not break the rules. You
are not upgrading your brakes to 96 SHO brakes. You are switching your
Taurus brakes to 1995 Lincoln Continental brakes. This is not an update or
back date. It is not legal in stock or ESP. It may be legal in CP or EP. The
reason I take this position is that the 1995 Lincoln Continental is the only
vehicle that I am aware of that has every piece you need to do  this
upgrade. You can not piecemeal parts from various cars and be a legal update
or back date.

If I am wrong and there is a Taurus that you can get all the parts necessary
to do the upgrade please let me and everyone else know.

PS. Loaded on Hydrocodine from back surgery so if this sounds real harsh,
sorry, just tired of reading and knowing I am too loaded to type, so have a
nice day:( :) ;)
Not even going to try the 300hp topic, although it has been fun reading it
through the drug/pain induced fog of the last six days. So blast away, I am
relatively numb at this point.
