IN Dec 2004 I was in contact with a shop on development of a Big Brake kit for the cougar/contour....the shop went out of business and the kit was never developed. I am going to be working at possible fabbing up the brackets to make this kit work. i really enjoyed the kit and Thought it would work. Here are the pics of the development.

5 Stars for a fellow Cougar. Any Chance you want to tell me how you painted your headlights black, got magic clear blinker, and angel eyes? info would be greatly appreciated. The stock ones just aren't flowing with my car. :(
