Re: 2005 Impala LS and my trucking adventures!

WHAT DID I SAY ALL THAT TIME AGO.

Resonator makes it all better, always.
 


Re: 2005 Impala LS

did my spring clean up on the car, cleaned the inside completely and washed the car, cleaned all the brake dust off the rims, cleaned the chrome tips etc etc took most of the morning lol.
getting rust under 2 doords and bubbles popping up on the rear fenders, the usual places, figure ill probably get the car painted come next spring and have any rust cut out as needed, id rather pay 2k for a paint then go for another used car that I have no idea on how it has been treated.
here are some quick pics from my cell phone.












 
Re: 2005 Impala LS

Thanks.
Ordered new drilled and slotted front rotors and ceramic brack pads, 3 year warranty so if they warp like my last 2 sets it don't matter lol
 


Re: 2005 Impala LS

i suggest just driving on them real nice for a few days, light slow stops. every time i tried one of those bed in procedures it blew up in my face.

in a few days of short trips here and there, the brakes came in and grab like a vice.
 
Re: 2005 Impala LS

I already did the "break in procedure" they told me to do with the manual that came with the rotors... hopefully I don't have the same luck as you...
 
Re: 2005 Impala LS

Let me know(well I'll keep an eye on this thread), I'll be ordering the exact same thing in the near future.

Re: 2005 Impala LS

Well went threw over a hour of rush hour traffic . They ceramic pads have a nice bite to them, won't know about the rotors for 6 months or more as that when they seem to start warping
 
Re: 2005 Impala LS

got these for $35



Thinking of putting the stb with the brackets in the rear for easier installation. do the bolts needed to be torque to a certain foot pound? or just tighten them down nice and snug?
 
Re: 2005 Impala LS

Is the bolt pattern the same in the rear so i can put the STB with the brackets in the rear?
 


Re: 2005 Impala LS

Ya i was thinking so also but thought Id double check, the guy who sold them to me said for the rear you can line up 1 of the strut tower bolts on each side and bolt it down that way if I want too... not to sure If I should do it that way though..
 
Re: 2005 Impala LS

I don't see it being very effective if only bolted down with one bolt. When in doubt grab a set of rear brackers
