Exclamation If you haven't done this, do it soon.

If you're going to spend some time underneath your LS, especially on the older 1990-1993 cars, CHECK YOUR BRAKE HOSES. I tore my front end to change out the brake pads, turn the rotors and I had a friend at the local Honda dealer tackle the wheel bearings when I noticed 3 of my brake hoses had bubbles in them and were on the verge of bursting. Swapped out 3 of the OEM hoses with aftermarket hoses(yes, I know) and the brakes have never felt better. So, if you have an older model LS and are wondering if your brakes aren't feeling right, I'd check out your hoses. It could mean the difference between life and death.

Didn't want to wait for shipping - but the idea is tempting.
