Not just today, but two weeks ago I got a quick jack 5000 so I started to work on the black SRT. I wanted to take off the TSW wheels and put the stock wheels back on. Those wheels are hard to clean so I wanted ceramic pads. Rob fixed me up with EBC red stuff pads and EBC ultra slotted rotors. That’s where the warped rotor problem came in. Rob was great about expediting a replacement from EBC. I also installed stainless brake lines and flushed the system. The pedal feels great. I had a new set of Vredestein tires installed on the factory wheels and while the car was up on the lift I installed new KYB shocks and a new steering stabilizer. Changed oil and filter, installed a new cabin filter and serviced the K&N air filters. The “biggest bang for the buck” mod was never done to this car so I added the capacitors in the doors. Pulled the cowl (finally) to clean debris but it was pretty clean, installed the missing wiper grommet while the cowl was off. Almost forgot, replaced the damaged pass headlight, bought one from RedDog, pulled the drivers light, polished both and installed four silver star bulbs while they were out.
Just a note on the shock installation, I used a 36” Irwin furniture clamp to collapse the shocks and strung them with mechanics wire to hold them collapsed when the furniture clamp was released. Then I bolted the bottom of the shocks in place, cut the wire and guided the top into place as they expanded. Didn’t they used to come collapsed like that? Now just need to detail it.
