Yo

U know those are really eye grabbing
Black blends better to
I am not overly find of my factory red ones
The red calipers are cool for about a minute. I like the black better as well and they will look better longer vs. the red ones showing brake dust pretty quickly.

Black looks good. I like my red calipers personally. Never had any issues with brake dust on mine.

Isn't that the point of the red ones though, to stand out and let people know you have a sporty vehicle. (however I'm more into stealth as well so...)

Agreed. And don't forget the well-known fact that vehicles with red calipers are quite a bit faster than those without. ;)

You know it! My Speedo says its can go 160 but with those red calipers I have no doubt I can go at least 20 MPH over that!;):p

Imagine the speed we could reach if they were chrome!

I appreciate you finding the item! And it is half the price of when you first posted! Can't beat that. FYI, to find the plug, look at their video clip. It's next to the brake pedal.

Today, like every Saturday, I cleaned her up and got her looking great again. Unfortunately it’s supposed to rain again in the next couple of days but she’ll just get washed again next weekend. Love every minute of it!

I've seen a lot of mixed things on these '25 wheels but I have to say I'm a huge fan!

At 79293 miles today, replaced the struts and shocks with an alignment. Waiting for front sway bar with links to be delivered. Surprised I got basically 80,000 miles out of the shocks/struts considering the roads in Va Beach/ Norfolk are horrible.

Not bad for hard use. I usually look to replace once I hit 70-80k. You never notice them gradually getting worse until you put new one on and then it’s a big difference!

Warranty? What's that? The dealer has to prove that the aftermarket parts installed caused the initial problem.
Mag Moss Act was to protect consumers from manufacturers denying warranty claims for using aftermarket “stock” replacement parts such as air and oil filters.

Yeah, a factory wheel I really like. Those are rare!
The sporty aggressive looks, driving experience and my 21 inch shiny black wheels were what made me choose the ST over the Nautilus V6 5 years ago this week!

Actually, last weekend, installed Steeda tower brace which really improved handling my ride.

Yesterday, upgraded 4 major modules via FDRS.
Hadn’t driven it enough yet to see/feel changes.

The strut tower brace is 100% cosmetic. That’s why the OEM is so flimsy.
