Thumbs up First Mod

Hello Fellow Lovers

This is my first real mod on my GS. I purchased cross drilled rotors from The Tire Rack and Wagner ceramic pads from O'Reilly Autoparts.


This upgrade really works very good. The car stops on a dime. I did not realize how bad the cars brakes had become but while installing the upgrade I found that one caliper slide on each front rotor had rusted to the point where the caliper did not work. The reason that caused me to check my brakes is that my rear pads started to squel and while looking at them I got curious about the front.


So just a suggestion if you think your car does not stop like it should inspect your brakes you may be suprised at what you find.
