I don't claim to be an expert, but that was my experience when my wheels went on last week.

This has been argued in other threads but I believe 140 lb ft or 190 nm is correct. These specs are also in my service manual.

Yep. Didn't keep it. Will now!

Thanks D. Switching Rotors around after one more paper. Arg.

If the experts are off, well then... that does it... I am buying those service manuals as soon as D sends me the link again.

You still need the wiring info? I'm back home so I can look it up.

Yep, just practicing on my car to figure it out for your car.

Not sure. You went to 22s and new rims so I would think they would have one it.

I have the Jewl scheduled for an alignment on Thursday AM and some custom exhaust work to line the tips up perfectly/cut them down, etc on Friday AM.

JUST IN TIME FOR THE RACES!

I am a 22 yr military man. You should know I have too much integrity for that. I can usually bust out between 2 to 4 4-6 page papers an evening. Not today. 1.5 done. (know you were kidding,, especially in your given professor, I mean profession)

Looks like we are going to get pummeled one more time by rain tonight.

Anyway, I would never ever question your integrity. (Except when attempting to be funny... which apparently didn't work very well this time.)

Back the car... I have looked at about 30 different rotors for my car in the last few days. At this point, my favorite in appearance and price are the ones you have. If you are happy with them, then I think I'll but a set similar to yours: dimpled and slotted, but I'd get the black ones (the slots and dimples are black). I think the black would go well with my car.

I'm going to ask the tire shop about having my car aligned while I'm there tomorrow. They do alignments too.

Totally knew you were kidding. PROMISE! Sorry if I made you feel bad. Just in a mood to have fun tonight and J isn't around to pick on. He is probably doing his honey do list so he can come stay over at my house... lol and go to KMart.

If I did it over I would get the black too. Since they always look black due to the ceramic dust. Also have them painted before putting them on. The center (what the y call the "Top Hat") before you put them on. 30 minutes of taping and probably 20 can of black high temp paint. Between the rotors too where the vents are. That adds tone to appearance and easier to keep clean. Plan to do that mod this winter myself.

This was the DRL wiring harness I was thinking of when we were talking at Milford. It is $160 which seemed high to me. It is not the Adaptive harness others referred to which is cheaper.

Much more in depth than the one I just plugged in and work for almost every combination. I don't need remote.

Here it is:

$ 38.50 including the shipping.

A few of us are running HAWK ceramic pads. decreased dust and its black. ECS has them. A few folks do. I think I found mine for around 200.00
