    Well I received my brake kit and it looks great except for one thing. It doesn't fit my car it's for a new model with 5 lugs. So it's back to the drawing board. Anyone know anything about Wilwood brakes? They have one that is suppose to bolt right on.

    I would guess that a Wilwood brake kit would weigh less and most likely cost less than the GP2 kit.

    I have heard good things about them but that is all. I have no experience with them.

    I must be really behind the times because I wasn’t aware that nifty device existed.

    I ordered a new third tail light for my wife’s convertible. $305 for just the light.

    You’re absolutely correct in being relieved that having the wheel bearing going bad at home is a whole lot better than on your MTTS trip. As always your photos were great.
