With the warm weather appraoching, and people getting anxious to start a little accelleration testing, I urge everyone to take a look at thier brake pads to make sure they can stop when the need arises.... I was installing the front shocks and springs on my car this afternoon when I happened to glance down and noticed that my pads were all but GONE. Probably another week before I would have been riding metal on metal. The wear indicators had been broken or bent so they wouldn't squeel to warn me of the lurking disaster. I'm just glad I cought it when I did...
