Going IS great.. BUT STOPPING is SPECTACULAR..

Something just didn't feel right... Stopping distance was increased, and the brake pedal felt "soft"

Friday afternoon I did a quick tear- down to identify the issue.. As it turned out one rear brake shoe was cracked, and  both passenger side shoes showed signs of glazing.  At this point I am thinking that somehow I picked up a bit of debris somewhere..


Luckily new parts were "ordered" Friday night and were in my hands before 9 on saturday.. My pal Brian at NAPA is once again my hero..

My test drive saturday night included several screeching stops.. which make me very happy .
