Re: Ballin's TL with the new wheels [56k Warning]
well lets see, first a rear caliper stuck so that needed replacement + pads. Then my toe in was really fucked after getting an alignment at the dealer. That ate up my brand new tires.
I took it to Ron Ellis (who is the shit btw) and he told me the dealer prob didnt fix the alignment bc the adjustment bolts were frozen (yay!). This meant I needed new control arms bc he'd have to cut the old ones to get the bolts out. He told me to just get the camber kit, which replaces two of the control arms on each side and gives you more room to adjust camber and tow.
I go to order and they are backordered everywhere for 3 weeks. I get those and decide to get my upgraded rotors and pads installed. Ron informs me that I need new front calipers bc the mount holes are stripped. WTFBBQ!
Good news is that I found some calipers in Newport News from a crashed TL for a decent price. They are about $500(maybe more) each at the dealer.
