Nice! I've always thought the brake pads were large due to how big the front calipers look though

That's an awesome walkaround! If you're going to be doing any suspension work this is a must read.

I think what makes me appreciate these cars more is when we get to see how it works, actually work on it and drive it! That to me is full appreciation of a car!!!!

I guess...having an engineering background also helps, haha for people like me that need formal education and not smart enough to do it without education.

One of the Moderators should sticky this in the suspension section
