Again, no all-in-one kits, but they have everything.

Just wondering--- do you have experience servicing brakes? I'm asking because it doesn't sound likely that you'd need to replace the entire system. Usually it's just a matter of bleeding the lines, replacing pads and maybe rotors, or in some cases the calipers too. what are the brakes doing that doesn't seem normal?

well first of all, the e-brake doesnt work at all, im not sure if it is disconnected or what, also when i hit the brakes, they dont seem to stop the car, i feels its to risky to try and drive it. i have some brake shoes that came with the car, but i need to figure out how to get the car to the shop, being the brakes dont work. I'm not good with brakes at all, thats why i asked, thanks for the info, ill have to check all the stuff out into more details, i have the car lift now so its kind of hard to take the wheels off. Thanks for the help, if you got anymore help towards the break or this project car that im working on, please let me know. i really can use as much help as i can. Thanks, Josh.
