suspension!
 
Hey guys, just threw in Eibach shocks, struts and lowering springs this weekend, along with some J&M c/c plates. I gotta say, handles like she's brand new! Body roll is basically non existence now which is awesome. Even though I drive like a granny, you notice the corners are sooo much easier. About the same ride/driveability as before with those stockers but you def stick way better when you push it hard. Also replaced the brake pads and put some new drilled rotors in. I was just wondering, is it normal for my pads to be screaming? haha I don't know if its them or the rotors. Do they just need some breaking in? Rotors look sexy btw.. Perhaps I will post some pics once I get them off my brothers camera.

I think with the new brakes they will make noise for a while but keep an eye/ear for what would seem unusual noises for an extended period. Not sure if that makes sense as I am medicated. Congrats on the new handling ride. Like you I drive like gramps but I notice a difference as well.

They will make some noise for the first bit due to the brake dust,depends on the quality of the brakes pads.

I just got some Monroe pads, they were more expensive than I anticipated...

Oh haha, well yes but I don't drive a whole lot to be honest with you. It's my 3rd year owning it and I've but on a mere 11 thousand clicks I think? Just about at 88K. Noise is slightly beginning to get quieter!

Good to hear re last line. Ha ha I drive mine an average of 1100 kms per year so 2 years 2200 k's. That number is a little high as I expect the odo to read 2000 k's by Oct.:chacha:

Wow, I'd punish that car of your's if it were mine. Course, I'd probably wax it as much as you do too :P hah
