adding static weight to the brakes, your car takes a hit in handling...

I applaud your attention to detail, they really enhance the look. Oh, nice brakes as well, have you though about recoloring them to match the body? I'm up in the air about painting the rear drums, some people think it's tacky. If you want to just have them shine but not stand out, go for black or a high temp stainless paint, I used it on my last car and never had a drum corrosion issue.

Yea, I'm not one for the painted drum. But that BBK looks very nice.

it would be wonderful.. but not ethical in my situation... all my efforts are going towards painting my kenstyle kit, and getting my turbo installed and all the extra misc parts put together

Looks great. I have been wanting to get those brakes for my car as well. where did you get them for 900?? I found a place in Southern Cali that had them but I think they were a little more than that plus the guy could piece together a set for the rears but the only bad thing is that you would loose your parking break So I have been waiting to do them until I can figure out a way not to lose my parking brake.
