v6 base had excellent brakes
Gt PP brakes rock at highway speeds, but about town are no better than the v6's ... ie great, but not more bite, and you'd never know they were diferent
tried going the cheap route before with jobber rotors and pads. sucked majorly and had to go OEM to get good...

2nd battery in trunk closer to the amp. with ACR (automatic charge relay) isolates the 2 until alternator making enough jiuce to charge 2nd battery. (ACR under hood to save cable)

Used spray paint can. - Duplicolor shade
Red is the hardest color to cover with.
Heavy coat caused bubbles .. so while wet, wiped it off.
Light sand and (grey primer this time) it covered much better.
Also sprayed down and wiped with brake cleaner before priming...

color is still too red in the iphone, but close-ish
a lot of fighting with the clips and stretching covers off/on.

they actually provide witness...
So color - cardinal red .... looks just like the demo shot on canadaseatskins.
However iphone is really accentuating the red, and its way more subdued than photos indicate.
However, so far im over the moon with the change.
back seats done first last evening ... very straightforward.

A/C leak can occur even if not used. Most common is the seal at the pulley end. There's a bit of oil circulating with the refrigerant, and when the seal leaks you get a telltale stripe of flung oil on the underside of the hood - side to side above the pulley.
Some will blow back on the block...
Pollen season winding down, was more than a wash job .... clay bar worked wonders getting paint smooth again.
New Makita cordless polisher was awesome. Going from a porter cable (which is really great) I was surprised what I was missing. Makita is beautifully balanced, and a one handed machine...
Bilsteins .... dew eeet! Ended the wiggle in the rear end on cornering on my V6.
Ride was only better, with a very nice compression stroke and effective rebound damping.
Fancier setups may be better, but for the price, the ride only improved ... no harshness
