Looks good, Austin. Didn't know she had pulled the trigger on the mustang. Clean V6...
Love that chop at the beginning.

It's the new 4x4 Mustang. Pretty sweet huh? Best of both worlds right there, sporty car with the ground clearance of a truck.

Nice shots and TL again Austin

Dude didn't buy RDX calipers? or was it someone else..

I bought them, I've been really lazy with the car lately and haven't even really touched it. Also waiting to see what's up with my brakes, having a bit of a vibration, didn't wanna stick the covers on in case they get in the way.

Thanks, KJ. I have considered a Type-S trunk spoiler but not a roof spoiler, I really dislike the look of them.

Thanks Tyler Not sure really. It was ~64 when we took these so the drive to the park I had them down. I rolled them up halfway through

I got them a long time ago, I just installed them maybe 3-4 weeks ago. I get a vibration from 40-20. It's mostly an overwhelming noise.

Any idea why?

Not expert but, sound+vibration makes me say rotor(s) are bent
Pad won't be a big issue I guess

and you won't feel much of vibration at high speeds because of a bent I think

Not sure. Took it to a shop today to install my camber arms, alignment, wheel balance and he will inspect the brakes. If it's a warped rotor I will contact Sean @ Brakemotive to see what we can do there.

The guy just called me a few minutes ago, he said after test driving it that he could smell the brakes...

Well, that's easy enough to check, I didn't have to touch the adjustment at the rear shoes for the ebrake, but Austin, try loosening up the ebrake under the center console and see what happens. That's easy to do. It should take 9 -12 clicks to hold the car in place.

A seized or partially seized caliper will cause the car to pull to one side or the other usually.

You're positive...have you tried having Jessica drive it and walk or ride bike next to the car to narrow it down? (just move out of the way if she starts to roll over).

It's being looked at today! I can't do anything about it now. I hope they find the problem and I can contact Brakemotive to see what I can do.

That would make sense...going 20 to 40 would be affected for sure, and it would smell like it was burning off the brake shoe from the inside of the hub.

I doubt its a seized caliper....I had a seized caliper and it ate through 75% of the brake pad in 5 miles....it was ridiculous....

since he is getting vibrations, I doubt if its the ebrake either as the vibration would be caused by the front rotors/pads....

Maybe it's his tiny womanly hands being too sensitive to the steering wheel?

I have the powerslot slotted rotors with hawk hps pads....and now am running RB et500 pads in the rear (after the caliper messed up my rear pads)....

I have had the rotors for almost 100K miles (92-93K miles) and the front pads usually last me 50K miles and the rear would have lasted me 100K miles but the seized caliper make me switch at ~85K miles....

well worth the price IMO....

but I remember Jeremy telling me, that drilled rotors do make a "chopping" sound....am not sure if thats the same sound you are talking about....

The chopping is while driving (not braking) I do hear that. I'm getting a vibration I can hear as well as feel through the whole car.
