i watched my install, and i was glad i wasnt doing it. i have done coilovers myself and this reminded me of that. (i still have nightmares about that, maybe i am just a *****) the install on this (front and rear) took a few hours with air tools, but i was very happy with the finished product. standard install price was like 400 bucks or something crazy, i got a guy to do it for me for 200.

Unless you are replacing the calipers or you crack open the bleed valves, I have never had to bleed the brakes on any motorcycle or performance car that I have changed pad or rotors on. Remove the caliper from the rotor and then remove the pads. Compress the piston(s), replace the pads on the caliper and re-install. Yeah, this a short-version of a brake change, but it's not rocket science and I've been doing it 35 years.

Hey George,
Maybe if you guys jump up and down real hard you'll break NJ off into the Atlantic, then just use a coupla outboard motors to cruise on down and tie up on the VA coast.

Jersey= the armpit of America. I would give my first born up for future adoption for some decent roads in this friggin place. Imagine driving through a minefield....that is every day here. You learn which roads to take and where to stay on the road to minimize the damage...good thing the Jersey Walls help provide little to no shoulder

My alignment before NJ... =
My alignment after driving 15 minutes in NJ... >

Is 1.5 months in too short to put in for a transfer...hmmmm
