<p>[<i>Editor's Comment</i> : If you decide to do the "1996 brake upgrade"
and desire to use original Ford parts, please consider using <a href="SHOappA.html#FPSAutomotive">FPS
Automotive</a>.&nbsp; Doug Lewis was the one that pioneered the '96 upgrade,
so he deserves to make some money off the idea.&nbsp;&nbsp; I've got his
kit on my '95, and am highly impressed with it!]
