My front pads are nearly gone too, maybe we should do a group brake work event. Was planning to diy it at some point, but would rather watch someone who knows what they are doing first.

Not that hard to do, just hit me on PM and I can talk you through it if you cannot wait. btw get some Hawk HPS pads waaaaay less brake dust and
less bite vs OEM as you apply them.

Hey X, what kind of rims are you looking for?? Also what BBK do you have, if you still have it??

All you have to do is drive the car in yourself and leave who ever in the car.

I HAD a set of this. they were great.

For rims I was thinking a set of Enkeis NT03s in 18x9 and 18x10.5 stuffed with 265 fr and 295, may be 315 re. But I'm open to anything, preff. light weight.

Exclamation Car Meet

OK,OK before the Hype dies down, lets do a meet on Monday at Military Circle Mall (mostly likely the movie theater parking lot) around 12PM to 3PM (<<---You decide). I pick the this mall because it should take no more than 30 mins max to get there from Newport News or VB. Most People should be off from work, that day anyway. The forecast is Mostly Cloudy a high of 63°, which is the highest for the week and a 20% chance of rain.
