[Shotimes] Front 96+ upgrade

Mon, 10 Mar 2003 14:04:07 -0500

Hmmm

I was going on what the SHOtimes brake survey said. either way I would have
ended up with the CM ones cause they are instock, I don't want to wait any
longer. I might be trailering some parts home from FL next week and I want
to make sure my brakes are up to snuff so to speak.
