I have some pulsating when braking so I bought a couple of rotors on eBay and am waiting for them to come in - it's expedient for me to just replace them. I have not inspected the brake system but I'm assuming it's pretty conventional. The front suspension is a double A-arm type which is unusual these days. The rear disks are a disk/drum combo with a small drum brake for the parking brake - that must be pretty cute. The engine is an alloy block and head DHOC with an output of 240 HP and a top speed of around 130+ MPH. The Michelin Pilot 225/50/17 V-rated tires are gonna be expensive to replace. I just wanted a nice family sedan for the wife - what have I gotten myself into? :-) |
