Jon, was it a big job for them to upgrade your brakes to s-cams? I am thinking of doing this to mine but I think I will change out the entire suspension front and rear, mainly the same reasons you stated here and also one of the reasons I did my engine upgrade. I just hate the thought of travelling far from home and something happened where I was unable to easily get parts.
