Thanks for the info. I need to get hopping on the brakes here pretty
quick...especially now that I have this leak issue going on. Might as well
replace it all while I have it in the shop. I have about 30% that should
last me a couple more months, but I want to get it out of the way before I
get out like I said before. I'll look into the Raybestos line though.
Thanks for your help!
