Im known for going in for one thing, and putting in alot more while Im there. Just yesterday, I swapped over to an aluminum drive shaft, so I did the torque arm and the PHB while I was there. Ran out of time I would have put on my springs too.

Last round I was replacing the axle bearings. So I figured why not get some new axles while Im there. And since I got to take them off anyway, might as well get some new cross drilled and slotted rotors, along with some Hawk pads, and Im also right by the brake line, so in with the stainless lines too

x2 on the planning ahead

When I was plannning on painting my calipers, I knew I had to take 'em off so might as well get new slotted rotors and Hawk pads.

I'm NOT saying your not experienced but I would think that depends on your knowleage level and experience.

It is

But that's still a pretty recent development in my life, so I'm enjoying it. Before modding was a very painstaking process to save money just to get the parts. Now its just painstaking to take my time and do some research on which part I want. Decisions decisions.
