Default WTF is this green stuff

:bb Oops.my bad.........it's only my new brake pads. Picked 'em up from Tirerack. $79 for the front, $69 for the rears. I didn't even realize Tirerack sold pads until I recieved their catalog this week.

I'll give you guys some feed back after I throw them on. :chevy

It's amazing how small the rear brakes are. Just enough to make them decent parking brakes.

Well, they are all on. Only took 6 hours :rolleyes: However I also put on dust shields to keep the motor clean. I've got a game in a half hour so I'll have to wait to take the car to work tomorrow.

I won't deal with Tire Rack anymore. I found another place online that has them for the same price, that's where I'll be buying them from.

Tire Rack refused to sell me tires that I wanted. I wanted some skinnies for drag racing, they told me I needed to get 255's, I told them 255's won't fit a 3.5 inch rim. They said tough, no sale.

I ended up getting them locally for a hell of a lot cheaper.
