It's up to you if you wanna try this...
When I replaced my front pads I took a sanding disk attached to my drill motor and roughed up the rotors. Bam! nice smooth brakes now and has been that way for over 10K miles. Basicly I just broke the glaze.

I previously had the pulsing

Drove Bob 2 the Panel to my physical therapy appointment this morning, for the second week running those "Sadists with Stethoscopes" tried to break me in half, so I'm working from home and shopping on-line for some rims.

I thought I could live with the stock wheels and dorky LS wheel-covers on Bob, but I can't. Oh well, so much for keeping the Panel "totally stock", and now I owe my wife $10 for losing the bet that I couldn't keep from "fixing it up".

What kinda style do have in mind? Put some steelies on it...something old school. I'm going to start looking for something more old school or muscle car for my wagon. My new front end is screaming for new wheels!

Gizmo is at the dealer today getting a new front bowtie, rubber bumpers in the dash compartment, and looking at why the signal light doesn't cancel properly when turning right. All warranty stuff since he only has 34,000 on the clock.

I've been thinking along the same lines, maybe something like these, your thoughts?

Loving 'em! I'm thinking of looking into something like these myself, maybe a 17x8 in for the back...17x6.5 or so for the front...stagger the tires too. Bet it would look killer!!

Well its unanimous then, Bob 2 the Panel will get those rims, now the question is whether to do them in body color or leave them argent?

Back to OT....Bob got new headlamp bulbs installed, he had assumed "Padiddle" mode with the left hand low beam burned out.

Now that the front bumper is off I'll install the Cadillac triple tone "Honkers" in the morning.
