Heat soak and a slow (... like WAY slow) starter are a well-known peculiarity of this car. Lots of people have reported very slow cranking when engine is hot, but no one—to my knowledge—has reported...

I labored over that decision for a while (alignment specs). On the one hand, it's my DD, so I don't want to get so crazy that I burn the inside edge on a road trip. But on the other hand, I'm...

PowerStop Z23's. From what I read, it's the same compound as the Z26, but a quieter and less track ready backing shim (probably less heat dissipation). Pads still looked great when I took them off,...

You'll get decent life out of the stock pads and rotors. I switched pads at 9K, to put on ceramics. At that time, the original pads still had lots of thickness left... between 3/16 and 1/4"......
