Thanks all for the complements.

Took it out last night to bed the breaks in and after a while they started squeaking on me again! I followed Wilwoods directions. Am I missing something, is their a technique?

Nice car. I like it!
I would add a bigger front sway bar and a heavy export brace, that would let some of the other bits work better and really change the car in a big way in the twisties.

If you have them installed correctly they may just need to be broken in... How bad is the squeak?

There really is no wrong way to install them. They aren't squeaking as loud as the last time, before I swapped the rotters to the correct side, but its still loud enough. I guess I'll just have to put some miles on them to see if its just a break in thing like you said.

OK. So the breaks are done and its the weekend. I look on the shelf at the sway bar and look at the blue sky on a Sunday morning....... Blue sky wins.

Pick up my buddy and head over to Supercar Sunday. Check out the exotics and other hot rods. Done, now lets hit the canyons.

This is us going past the rock store


This is us passing by Victory Jon


And this is us on our way back out the canyon.


.........and this is us on the side of the road because my fuel gauge was lying and we ran out of gas.

Oh well, add another fix to the list.

God I love living in Southern California. Anyway, last night after a busy weekend, we got the front sway bar on. Well see how she handels before we tackle the rear.

Beautiful! Glad to see you made it through and never gave up. I have the Wilwoods also and remember those arrows. We all have ours opps's lol. My pads break in was a few lights towards the highway! Never had an issue with them since.

Again beautiful car!
