but anywho, i just bought some new brake pads and caliper paint. about to get my car out the body shop soon. i wrecked it like a month or two ago and im finally making a come back. i aint have insurance so i had to come outta my pocket to pay for it with no help from my peoples but its all good. lol

imma paint it candy red after i get the body right. got a couple scratches and dents i need gone then imma be ready.

i spent over 100 dollars on brake pads alone. can someone tell me the diffrence between ceramic brakes {$60} and semi mettalics {$20}?

not to sure about duralast, kind of one of the cheaper brands. I hate your ugly cars, but ceramics are usually better for regular street driving. If you want performance drilled breaks would be the best(correct me if im wrong just tyring to halp) . My suggestion to you is if your car has a forum ask them they usually know whats best

i dunno about swangerz or whatever, but in higher end cars ceramics are more track oriented as they dont heat up as quickly (and no brake dust)

and they're light, although apparently traditional brakes on exotics are now made lighter than similar ceramic ones, so i guess that isn'tentirely true.

but ceramics are $$$......this is a "swanger" and at the end of the day it's anything but a performance-oriented car. i think you can gorelatively budget on the brakes.

I think riding around in stupid looking rims is ignorant!!!!!! Its my opinion

Also I find it quite funny when dudes buy chargers and cars along those lines, with the V6 and right away throw some big *#$ rims, instead of spending over 5k on rims why not upgrade the motor to the V8.

That's funny?

Maybe they don't want the V8 and they'd rather have the big @*@ rims? Not everyone has the same preference...

v6 muscle cars?

Jesus...and loon, i appeciate da charger love

Yep. I'd put 22s on a old school though.

But my limit is 20 on newer whips.
