My friend Chavez used to work at the local Ford Dealership Detailing cars. He got those for free and rocked 'em in his Buick LeSabre .
He gave them to me last week. Woo...

It's funny you mention the tires with the drop kit actually...

I did this chop this morning,



With the drop kit, the valence, the mud flaps and tires I'm seeing kind of a rallye car thing.

I was also thinking about adding a flip up plate kit once I get the valence. Hence the plate there. Anyone have any thoughts?

Factory 4x2?

Nothing screams 'Bad-***' like a 4.2L 4x2



Thank You though! That made my day.

Unintentional update:

So my brakes have been acting weird lately, and so I brought it to the dealer so see what's up.
I made a thread about it a couple days ago. To put it in a nutshell, my I need to replace my front rotors and machine my rears.

Copied from that thread, but here's the final outcome.


I saw no part in buying the same OEM parts, that seemed to wear out early.
I figured that I would upgrade to something so that either they would last longer, or at least work better.

I ended up going with the Power Slot Alloy Cryo-Treated Rotors. For the front two rotors.



I figured if I was in there, I might as well upgrade the pads too.
So I went with Hawk HPS Street Brake Pads.



Also, even though I painted the Calipers a couple years ago, I think that I'm going to re-do them. New coat of paint, and more red this time.

They said that the back ones could be turned so I'll probably just do that for the backs.

Any thoughts?

Oh, I'm not quite sure when I'm going to put them on.
As soon as they get here, I guess...
