Sorry Vasy 7th tire not 7th set. As I sit here at the shop they have all four wheels off which concerns me...

I don't need much convincing on the Speed3 upgrade. I was a menber here way back in 07 when the discussion was almost purely anecdotal. I want to do it BADLY, just have to squeeze it in with all the other "to-do" items that have been waiting all winter

She drives plenty fast too.
So the upgrade then comes down to the Centric calipers and the Stoptech lines front and rear- those parts are just $380. No core exchange, no straight from the junkyard, no rebuild kit, none of that nonsense.
It looks like it has side impact airbags built into it. I don't miss the car seat days, it was one of the reasons we got the 5. My smallest is in a booster, but my middle kid is getting too big for the third row. My oldest is 2 years away from driving. The kids have literally grown up in the 5. I am starting to look for a used car for myself, so my oldest canuse the 5 as a first car. Crazy how fast it goes.
35% tint last week, test fit of wheels over the weekend to get a feel for fitment. going to be tight but looks like it should work great. 18x8+45 18x9+38
will lower in a few months, wheels may not get tires till a few months after that, or maybe not till next year. baby on the way so have to budget accordingly.

Last spring I also tried with hand tools to break loose my front sway bar bushing bolts. I wanted to replace them with greaseable polyurethane bushings from Energy Suspension. I did this with the front wheels off, for winter to summer tire/rim swap, and the car up on jack stands. I could not get enough leverage with my hand tools to do the replacement, so I left the OEM bushings at the time. I only had about 25,000 miles on the car so it's not like the original bushings were bad. Since then though, I've got an air ratchet to use with my compressor and perhaps that will give me the leverage I lacked.

Must be the season, just finished rear sway bar bushings. I did the front last year, actually, a friend of mine with a lift, power tools and knowledge did most of the work...
