im way up north in the 157 area, Bergen county, ( 10 miles or less to the GWB ) been down the shore area my whole life, know your exit well lol and i've broke 40 so we are in the age bracket i guess.

are we related? i refuse to grow up too.


when locked up did they screech? we would call large tires locked up or spinning, a elephant burn out, because it sounds like a elephant trumpeting. they just never spin fast enough to hum, just scream. 35"s are a b!tch to get spinning.

For anyone that is interested, I bought the powerstop brakes for my car on the ZZP website $34.99 each for a set of front & rear brake pads. I'll install them probably next week and let anyone know what my results are for those interested in these brakes.

The rear pads died really quickly, never even installed the front pads. Going though the company for replacements but will probably not install them as I'm installing new Duralast rotors & pads on my vehicle instead. So I have a new set of front pads from powerstop and might get rear pads for free, though I won't use them, anyone want to buy? (orlando, fl area)
