well, it does require more steps than your single lick technique. :icon17:

onzedge, I just saw your most recent rep, I take it you ordered!?!?! Im jealous, although I wont be jealous for long. Still figuring out what Im going with as far as brake components Im ordering but once I do I plan to bundle it together w the Koni's and just receive it all at once. I wont be installing them till the spring though so you will def be rolling around on them before me.

Sorry I was eating my bird drop soup LOL. I'm green with envy over all of the koni yellows here.

No. I figured I could get close enough without them.

I am ordering tomorrow or Saturday. I am only waiting because soemtimes one of my kids' shops can get Koni at pretty low cost and I am waiting for them to get back to me. I will know for sure tomorrow and if they can't get me a deal, then I am probably ordering from Kami. They quoted $940 delivered.

:roflpuke2:

I just borrow it once a week so I can carpool to work. Normally in my 100 mile round trip I average 56mpg, once I even was able to average 68mpg when I took a route that had more surface streets.

Believe me, once you see how much money you save you won't hate on a Prius. I hated them before I started using this one and will definitely get one as my next car. :)

wow, that's a nice price. :tup:

None of those cars appeal to me. I'll pay $10 a gallon and get 5mpg before getting one. Smart cars, leaf, prius ect don't do anything for me. I'll push my out of gas Titan first.

I too am going through Kami, just deciding on brake pads. Really wanted to go with the Endless ss-y pads Kenchan recommended but Kami doesnt carry them :( Prob getting some Project Mu pads.

I have been running Hawk HPS with slotted StopTech rotors for about a year and I am very pleased with them.
