    It's a matter of time before I splurge on the skid. And yes RCI, is likely my first choice due to proximity for me. No shipping that is.

    Your pads are shot. I would say they served their purpose. It's an anti rattle spring. It doesn't push the pads out

    obviously lol, gonna change them next weekend when XL is open so I can get some power stop pads, had to put import direct on the rears because they were closed... and yeah I figured that out later, I always though it was to keep them from staying on the caliper

    nothing like finding out you need pads right before you finish swapping your transmission and need to leave town lol

    RCI hangs about an inch lower. Less ground clearance.

    Are these LEDs? Where did you get them? Or did you make them?

    What are yall using for brake pads? We used to use centric at the shop, but they started being low quality. I could get power stops but the carbon ones squeak so I was thinking of their ceramic, or Import Direct ceramic pads... PFA

    Swapped the transmission this past weekend, so far so good, temps are back down to 195-205°F and gas mileage went back up. Gotta fix an exhaust leak but other than that we’re back in business
