Nice man. Hope the test drive is noise free. I know you'll love the stopping power. I still get a rubbing noise (not metal), it comes and goes but I haven't had time to look at it.
 
Ok so small review from the short bedding in drive I took. These brakes are AMAZING!!! Knuckles brakes flat (just as eddies view with rubicat shows) and he brakes so much better than stock! I barely have to push on the peddle to feel them applied! Can't wait till the bed it in complete and I can really lay into them

So glad you got them installed now! Looks great! Maybe don't lay into them too hard. You might end up using your stinger!!!

Replaced my spark plugs today after 63,000 miles. They look good for how long they have been in. Oem is a double platinum champion so I replaced them with the same thing.

They certainly don't look like they have that many miles one the. Modern engines. I guess maybe the fuel/air mix is really superior to old engines. I could be wrong, I'm not much of a mechanic.

My teacher was saying that based off the color of the plugs that my engine is running right where it should. The only thing that kept him from thinking they were not the original plugs is by how gapped they are. Oem spec is .048-.054. These were .062 [emoji15]
 
Just got home. I drove the same as I do every day and say a slight increase in MPG!! Averaged 14.5 mpg on the way home where I usually do about 13
 
Well this morning I officially ordered some 37/12.50r17 cooper STT pros!! Huge shout out to the discount tire rep Matt for getting me prices and working with me to get the best deal I could! Super excited to FINALLY put knuckles on 37's! Been a long slow build to get him to the point I felt comfortable putting this size tire on!
