I just ordered new Moog wheel bearings, a set of drag reduction clips, and a set of Stoptech brake pads... should improve rolling resistance and increase stopping power when I need it... I started wanting better stopping power after some idiot in a F-350 pulled out in front me in traffic while I had a passenger aboard...

Also, I wanna thank Slowmover for preaching his opinion on highway travel. I recently decided to try his approach instead of going 75-85mph...

Now I cruise at 60mph, letting speed bleed off to no less than 55 on hills, and EOCing down the steeper down grades (admittedly sometimes getting up to 70-75 while coasting), and not only am I now getting my best all freeway mileage EVER (around 40mpg actual), but I also arrive more relaxed at my destination due to my head not being on a swivel looking for cops...
