I had a chance to drive my car about 300+ miles this past weekend with these pads and not once did I have any brake noise.

i have slotted rotors but havent isntalled them yet. i personally hate the brake squeaking sound. hope it isnt too bad. im planning on using ap1 pads though

and when are you putting your volks on? looking forward to it
I doubt you will have any issues at all with the AP1 pads or other similar pads. Suspension bits and Volks should be going on this month. Can't wait!
Can't wait to hear your impression and lap time improvements with the DFV suspension.

My goodness.

I just went through your thread from start to finish and all I can say is, please don't stop! Lol, what a fantastic thread! Plus, we both own Sebrings so it makes it just that much better.

Thanks! It is amazing how much you can enjoy the car without really making an significant changes to it. But that time has come. Hoping all of the suspension bits and wheels will make it onto the car this week or next.

Install is going to happen next week. I will definitely be out and about this weekend in the mountains but I have done more OEM drives in 1 year than most people will do in a lifetime haha.

Upgraded my helmet with a nice Honda F1 visor sticker. I have another visor coming in as well to help deal with those tricky Thunderhill sunsets.





Purchased here (curved version for my Arai helmet): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Helmet-Visor...-/200764350457

2 days until Ohlins, J's Racing, and CE28N action.

Looks nice. Waiting on your review of the suspension parts. I'm on the fence in getting the Spoon front ball joint instead of the J's S1 due to durability concerns.

The spoon is more than likely made by the same OEM supplier, if your concern is durability you want the Spoon unit, not the J's.
