i actually have in my garage, the brakemotive rotors/pads
a set of ebc yellow pads i would use instead

full hellwig antisway bar set, my expy has sway bars on them stock, and is it correct to believe that the hellwig ones will be considered a upgrade even if they are the same size?

i also have a set of goodridge stainless steel lines.

i have the brakemotive slotted/drilled rotors/pads combo on my truck too...
although the truck comes with anti-sway bars...YES IT WILL BE AN UPGRADE...they wont be the same size...aftermarket are A LOT THICKER...STRONGER...i tell this story everytime...theres an S-curve going to my wife's old job...i couldnt go faster than the posted speed limit of 35..any faster i wouldnt have control of the truck...after i swap'd the factory sway bars for the eibachs...same S-curve...45mph...and still have complete control of the truck...see pics for yourself...

Freeway, I check this site every day. I do some posting, but nothing too serious. If you look, I probably post 1-2 things each day. did you ever figure out that fuel issue that you were having?

no i havent got back to it yet...too lazy to do all that work to figure out whats going on...im going to check it out sometime this month though

its weird, the hellwig sizing doesnt seem too much bigger then my stock sizing if any, i think my 2011 has some pretty beefy ones to begin with, i am just hoping for a better sturdier material. havent had the time to get anything installed at all lately, maybe soon!

measure your sway bars and bump it against hellwig's measurements
