i got one napa up here that cuts drums and rotors still.

check out R1 on ebay, i got mine for roughly 200 shipped, i got the drilled and slotted E line with their ceramic scorched pads. at 200 they are cheap, yet work better then any other brakes ive ever installed on anything. r1 is all ive been using for years now.

best part is they dont rust, only where the pad rides if left sitting will show rust.

I have the geomets in the garage still. They look great. They have a new pad called OE something or other that i got to try. Sales rep said its a ceramic compound, too.

i know of quite a few running all sorts of their set up/combo's, never heard any one complain, other then being touchy when cold in some cars.

i let a friend drive my car. he also had a regal like mine. im like roll from a stop at idle for 3 feet then stop like you normally would, he almost lost his teeth on the steering wheel lol

Took my first ride today with the new shocks--MAN, what a huge difference! Didn't bottom out in the rear and rode so much better and just felt "tighter". Also, looks like it raised it a little bit. Maybe 1/4" or a little more, front and rear. Not that great of a pic to tell.Screenshot_20181230-145335_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20181230-145313_Gallery.jpg
