Prior to switching front & rear factory Z51 pads we had a squeal in the front. Installed PowerStop "Street Warrior" performance pads and now there is a squeal in the rear. We did not replace or turn the factory rotors that had 17,000 miles. My son thinks we should not have "cheaped out" and should have turned or replaced the rotors. I will take the car to his house next week and we will assess the situation. The saga, and squeal, continues...

Wow thanks Jon. What a cruise today. Perfect weather and lots of twistiest with ZERO cars, or bikes of any kind all the way up!

Only 4 of us today. All I can say is a lot of you missed an incredible drive!

Thanks for doing a pre-run and planning in the pit stops and checking for closed roads. Made for a trouble free trip. Even the map is great.

You took the words right out of my mouth. The level of prep that Jon does for these runs is extensive and appreciated. What a great time! Thank you

Sorry I had to miss this month’s run, Jon. Your runs are always well planned and led.
Unfortunately, my son and I had to clean our boat and tender after returning from Catalina on Saturday.
See you next month.
