Default back from service

Got her back, didnt have her for a few days, got some regular maintenance done to her oil change (mobil), rear diff fluid chance with synthetic, front pads, replaced rotors with bosch, and put back the lower engine cover which i haven't had on for a while. she stops so much better now I can actually feel i nice feedback from the brakes i also have goodridge SS brake lines all around, I know she's heavy, but my braking sucked till now atleast to me, future mods will like to upgrade to BBK. just wanted to share, I did miss driving her, she's only has a few mods, but Im a firm believer in maintenance first mods second
