I installed EBC brake pads last week. The stoping power is great. That squeeked for about the first 300 miles now it's gone. Dust is reduced but I love the feel.
These are great, I've used them on BMW's, Volvo & my Viper in the past .. low dust & great feel. I ordered a set of greenies for the V 3 days ago, can't wait to get them on.

I'm looking at the 2004-2008 models. (under 20k is my max budget)
3. should I be afraid of...
I have a 2005 CTS-V that is leaking from the sunroof. I've cleaned out the drain lines.The gasket seems worn and when I tried to re-adjust the sunroof for better fitment, I think the plastic track guide on the passenger side broke. I can't seem to find the part or part number for either one...
I find myself at a decision point, hoping for input from those of you that have owned multiple generations of Vs.
I have a 2005 CTS-V, bought it 3 years ago with 13k on it. It now has 57k. I bought it with a Maggie on it, with an 8lb pulley. Discussions with Magnuson reps have led me to...
