Ugh I thought that was a rotor too, but the caliper was nowhere to be found. That sure is a shallow drum, AMIrite? Car looks OK, just be careful. There’s a fine line between cool, and ricey. Welcome:wave: ---

It really kinda looks like a rotor in the pic, tho. However, it looks like a vented rotor, which probably would never be found in the rear of an escort ever. HAHA ---

YEAH!! I just got the spoiler on. I ended up using toggle blots. I don’t know how I came up with the whole idea I did, but everything went smoothly and on properly. The only thing I have left to do is seal off the bottom so no water can get in. ---

Look into a GT rear brake swap. The fronts maybe too. Measure the front rotors. If those are 9", I have a 10" setup from the GT I didn’t use. I don’t think you need the spindal for the swap but I can look into it for ya. Then you can paint the calipers. Looks way better then painting your drums:eekdance: ---
