    New brake pads, install anti-squeal shims ??

    I can tell you that I removed all the oem toyota shims and just installed the brake pads as they came out of the box with no brake quiet. I did not chamfer the edges. The Wagners Thermo quiets have some kind of material on the back of the brake shims which I believe to be a brake quiet...

    Removing stock elbow / downpipe as one piece?

    Can the factory downpipe and factory elbow be removed as one unit? Will I be able to slide the elbow back far enough towards the firewall to clear the studs with the DP attached and the car on jacks? I soaked the nuts on the elbow to turbo with liquid wrench overnight a couple of times...

    Real beat down by cops

    My neighbor is a police officer. He tells me his first duty is to come home to his family after every shift. The cowboy movie crap where they pop you in the knee cap is a no go.

    New brake pads, install anti-squeal shims ??

    I bought new brake pads. Wagners Organics. My question relates to the anti-squeal shims. The oem toyota pads have two shims and the back of the pad itself has a two small nipples to hold the squeal shims in place. The wagners do not have the two little nips. I could put the squeal shims on...
