god i need to get a digital camera so i can post pics on here. lol. but yea mine looked exactly like yours (that guy). it did made me very unhappy to see the condition of the pluggs after only being in there since april, only 5 months! ugh! there should be a do not buy section on this forum. like parts and manufacturers types of things that were used tested and failed. like these bosh plugs! i think its a good idea. anyone else?

yeah, I spent a whole afternoon trying to figure out why my rear brakes were dragging after I rebuilt them. After lots of fiddling and cussing I established that the shoes were too thick. I spent about an hour filing them down so that they wouldn't drag.


Another thing that can be added to that list is valucraft front brake pads from autozone. I had those on for a while and they had very poor stopping power. They couldn't even lock the front wheels. I put on a set of duralast golds and they've been great.
