Brake Upgrades and a Thanks to Strano Last year it was Sam's Springs, Swaybars and Koni 4/4's.
This year I took advantage of Sam's free shipping sale on the Brake components. I went with ATE Rotors and Hawk HPS Pads.
Every thing went together easily although getting the 132+K mile rear rotors off was shall we say labor intensive. Was also amazed that the rear pads still had some meat left after so many miles.
I was very impressed with tha quality of the rotors they truley are nice pieces.
Anyway again wanted to give a thank you to Sam Strano for great products and outstanding customer service.

Yeah the E brake works fine, I probably could of adjusted them better before I put the rotors on but they work as well as they did before.
Only issue I have now is I get an ABS inop light when the car goes over bumps even without the brakes being applied. I might have shaken something loose when I was hammering the old rotors off.
And Yes that's an Old School SEARS floor jack
