The street fire box had my motorcraft coils in it. Summers22 had asked me to report back on the street fire coils I can say now at this point they are junk lol. I changed the oil, cleaned the maf sensor and throttle body, and changed the coils back to motorcraft. She seems to run a lot better now and (knock on wood) my starting issue seems to be gone. If all this goes good I'll change the one street fire coil left to a new motorcraft one.

I went with whatever advance had in stock, it was mid grade where everything except the clamping portion was painted. I'm hoping the painted portion keeps it from rusting.

I tried the beat on it method for about 30 minutes on each side, then decided to work smarter, not harder. It just wasn't worth the aggravation because I just needed to swap out the brakes quick to take it to get inspected. I ordered the bolts the same day from McMaster-Carr, got them quick and then replaced it. I won't bother beating on another set, I'll find out the caliper bolt size and make sure I order them in advance, just in case for all of my vehicles.

Thanks. I have my eye on either Centric premium e-coated or Power Stop. Not really wanting cross drilled and slotted, but the price is a wash between what Summit and Rockauto have them for.
