no doubt...
I can't stand people that live in a bubble...
they didn't do it on purpose, I'm sure...but they didn't give a fk and assume everyone else is the same.
Unexpected rear tire upgrade. Got a screw near the sidewall on one of the Goodyear F1s. Replacing the rears and going slightly staggered with 255/45-20 Nitto Motivo's on the rear and keeping the fronts the F1s that are 245/45-20s.
Ordered new drilled rotors and figured I might as well upgrade the rears to police package rotors which require special brackets from MOPAR. I've read good things about the upgrade so I'm hoping it's worth the extra coin.
is the catch can a worthwhile upgrade for those cars? any reason for drilled or just cause they look cool
Yes the catch can is absolutely worth it. I empty it every oil change and it's always half full of a gas/oil mixture that would otherwise be recirculated through my intake manifold. As far as the drilled rotors go, it's debatable, but I had great luck with drilled rotors in the past on cars that would run through the OEM rotors with warping issues.

Got the police package brakes on! The fronts are the same size as the stock rotors but the rears are over an inch larger in diameter and much thicker than the stock rears.
The rotors came with Centric Posi-Quiet pads which I've also used on my past few cars and love. In addition to the rotors and pads, I also bought the larger caliper brackets and some new guide pin boots to make it easier on myself instead of having to try and pry the old ones out.
I haven't driven a ton with them yet, just a test drive then bed in procedure and then to go get some pizza for the fam, but my impressions so far are they seem to have better initial bite and when I was bedding them in they were making my eyeballs feel like they were going to pop out of my head, so I suppose that's a good thing haha! Just the fact there's no more squealing from the front brakes is a nice thing in itself.
All in I spent just over $460 for everything. Well worth the money IMO.

Yes a 5mm spacer on the front for the Alcoa to clear the steering knuckle. Very common to run them but it just becomes a pain when I have to have a tire repaired or balanced because Discount won't touch spacers.
I love those wheels only about 100000000 times more than the fucking chrome ones you have on.
So, I'm happy.
About your car.
I still think, those wheels...MORE of a drop...and lose the trunk spoiler and we're gonna have to reconsider the condom supply you keep in your glove box. Gonna need more.
Have you thought about red vinyl over the reverse/signal portion of the tails? Maybe give it a different look.
Just thinking out loud. I'm pretty dumb, so keep that in mind.
Lol I know I should have avoided chrome. I thought they'd be darker than they are. Live and learn. Hopefully I can cover most of the price of the new ones with the mounting and balancing once I sell the SRTs. Hopefully.
I'm likely not going to go any lower unless I have to replace a shock or something in the future. I may go with some Eibachs which would drop it another inch. Big but though.
And speaking of big but(t)s... The spoiler is staying. I've gone down that road already and it just needs something back there. Without anything it makes the car look too long and more of a sedan than it already is. I may do something with the tails, but after the wheels I really need to take break from any other mods.
And don't be so hard on yourself man. You're not dumb, you're just a tiny bit intelligent deficient. It must be that Florida swamp tap water you're drinking.
