That green is gonna be sweet! Too bad about the rotors though, I would think the dealership should stand the parts of labor or both.

Rotors that wear out in less than 10 years are ridiculous, especially at 360 a pop.

I agree Clint. Lyle had race brake pads on the car, which must have worn them down prematurely. And the rotors are uber expensive 2-piece rotors and there apparently is no 1-piece option he could go with instead.

Maybe it was tracked pretty hard?? Strange that Tindol didn't step up to help with the cost.

What were.the pads? Just so we know to never buy them lol. Usually the pads give out before the rotor. Vorshlag tracked their car and the rotors were a pound lighter after idk how many events. Possible I guess if he had track pads on the street that constantly lapped the rotors down since they never got up to temp.

Death wobble is cured! One jeep up and running, one to go.

Still tracking a vibration in the mustang. It has settled down and only occurs 45-60 mph. Nothing at 100. Still on the coast side, cycles about once a second like all the components are out of whack only when the planes align.
