Congrats on the build thread. I never did any mods to my 400 during the 10 years I drove her. Glad you are taking a great car and making it what you want. Look forward to the progression.
Thanks RZ! It's a labor of love and a little bit at a time. Having a one year old and daycare prices out of the ying-yang REALLY cuts into my play money.
My Dad has an '08 460 that I'm trying to convince him to sell to me but negotiations aren't going well
Got them on and I must say they take some getting used to. The initial bite is much more aggressive but not ****** your fillings out hard.
I like them and I wish had done them much sooner. I tell you what though, changing the parking brakes on these are a b***h!!!
Sweet! I guess I'll be getting some for my Ls when it's time. What brand of brake pads are you running? Also, do the rotors have the zinc coating or just metal?

There some sort of upgraded NAPA brand. I put them on myself so I had to use what they ordered. I got to use the tools and the lift and just had to pay for the pads, not a bad trade. I didn't catch exactly what they were though.
The rotors are zinc coated and surprisingly after driving them roughly 100 miles yesterday in mixed highway and city, they haven't begun to wear yet. The place where I got them from plates them in zinc, black or gold.

Ok, thanks. Can't wait see this build finished. :-)
Well the new radiator showed up Tuesday afternoon and I put it in Wednesday morning. Took me about an hour to get it in since the transmission lines didn't want to come off, but I gave them a good tug and worked them off.
Buttoned everything up and burped it. Haven't had a chance to drive it yet, but I didn't get any leaks. And thanks to Summit Racing, my new Energy Suspension sway bar bushings are on my porch waiting for me to get home!
Once I get them on, then I'll take her for a test drive and see how she does.
I replaced the sway bar end links on the 92 and what a difference. I actually just did the bushings and end link on my excursion along with new front shocks and that thing rides so much better. It is those little things that make a huge difference. Our cars give us the frog in boiling water effect. Things gradually go bad and we don't notice until they fail.
