    Control arm angle

    Generally, people get the keys to lift the front to level the front to the back. This actually messes up the angles and geometry. Besides an alignment, you will end with uneven tire wear. Spindles are a better way to go. Just make sure your CV axles are not at too steep angles. Moderation is...

    07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

    The thing is that going bigger than NNBS it's going to cost an arm and a leg... About 1/3 of what an NBS is worth...

    I would get high quality Dot 4... Get synthetic Dot 4 that has the highest boiling point... Price is not too relevant. I would not cheap out on brakes. :D

    Discount Tire and mounting tires

    I see what you mean... I do see that the tires are 12.2" wide and are meant for a 10-12" wheel... You have about 4" of tire sidewall to flex 1-1/2" on each side. I think they are just covering their ass. I bet you if you had more sidewall it would not be an issue at all...

    Discount Tire and mounting tires

    If I want 16.5" inch tires mounted on my 17" inch wheels... They are not going to try mounting them... Get the right tires for the wheels you got... If they say that they are not going to mount them on your vehicle because the offset is way off... Then take just the wheels, not the vehicle...

    I went with EBC Yellow Stuff brake pads... Good Pads will make a big difference...

    Thanks, I have been toying with the idea of having them Polished...

    SS Brake lines give you better feel, I do not know how important that may be on a car... On a motorcycle absolutely, you have one brake per tire so it's nice to feel differences of asphalt grip at the lever... But on a car, there is one pedal on 4 tires, and most cars have ABS.

    Bilstein Shocks 4600 vs 5100

    You should try the 4600... You have to put your body weight to compress them... (My 200 lbs anyway)

    Bilstein Shocks 4600 vs 5100

    The control arm stops seem fine. The torsion bars are cranked just a little, the Yukon still sits about 2" higher on the rear. Just backing out of the driveway, the car still bounces once I am on the flat street... The bouncing to me feels like the shocks are worn out, in just 16,000 miles. Now...

    Bilstein Shocks 4600 vs 5100

    I have had Bilstein 4600 shocks on my other SUV with great satisfaction. When it came time for shocks on my 2006 Yukon SLT, I figure I would upgrade to the Bilstein 5100 series. Initially, I noticed that the shocks were a lot softer... But after 16,000 miles the Yukon bounces several times...

    New 07 rotors, 07 calipers, EBC Yellowstuff brake pads... Be careful, When you need to stop, it makes seatbelts hurt!!!

    Any pictures of Weather Tech Cargo on Yukon (NOT XL)

    I though Weather techs were hard plastic... I may just get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Rows... Without the Cargo

    Even with the little bit of Rub while turning and backing up... I would have not gone smaller... :D
