  1. hey bros, i need some help please, i have a set of 26'' wheels i put on my 2002 yukon denali last year, everything was fine first few weeks, but as expected over time they were just to much for the factory brakes, my steering wheel started shaking as if i needed a wheel alignment which i didnt because when i threw my factory wheels back on in the winter time the wheel shake went away, also when i had my rims on when i would hit the brake the truck would swerve slightly to the right..to the point i would have to turn the steering wheel to the left a bit whenever i braked to compensate for the truck wanting to turn a bit to the left, so my question is can you guys suggest a good set of brakes i can throw on there to help stop these problems but not big enough to where i cant throw the factory wheels back on in the winter time? if possible can something like this exists for $600 or less?

    You need the wheels balanced. Have the brake calipers checked out, heavier duty brake pads/rotors.

  2. Hey everyone! I'm new to the SMD forum, and im new to car audio. I wanted all your advice, i hope this is in the right section. I am buying my first system very soon, and I was planning on getting the Kenwood W3013PS 12 inc subs, 2 of them. Is Kenwood a good company, considering these subs are $60 for 2 on amazon. Im not going crazy need subs and amp for $200. Im buying a box too, but ita not in the budget. So what amp are u guys recommending. It would help a lot! Thanks

    Just stop, save for a bit.

    I spent $200 on my first sub (Fi Q 12" in enclosure) than spent another 200 on the headunit and another 200 on an amp, and 100 on amp wiring lol.

  3. Swapping your gears could help your speed, and a set of headers would make it sound better and add some power

    swapping gears will make it getup faster but will kill gas mileage.

    get a good tune, full headers, do a simple intake, so called "cai's" don't do much and a true one, you risk sucking up water and hydrolocking yer motor.

    do a full tune-up on it and that will help a bit depending on the last time it was done.

  4. ok so the ebay kit is a no go then lol. im pretty much wanting better throttle response and a little bit more tone out of my apexi exhaust but not trying to break the bank either. should i just wait to save up for a cold air intake? or just get the short ram for the time being and then sell it when i upgrade? and how hard is it to install a cai? any drilling holes to make it go into the fender/ bumper area?

    you're talking about not breaking the bank when you have an apexi exhaust that costs well over $450+?

  5. nice steve! that isf is so sweet...... 1 quick question though....isnt the reason nitrous is bad for your engine is because 1. if you run it too lean itll obviously blow up lol but mainly doesnt it stretch the head bolts? i thought i read that somewhere and that the reason alot of people dont use it..... it causes a ton of pressure on the heads and stretches them so every 2 or 3 runs down the strip they had to replace head bolts...... maybe its on a setup with more than a 75 shot lol but damn the installers do a HELL of a job makin it look clean!

    props to them!

    Depends on the tuning.

    A good tune and what not, it'll be fine as the ecu will compensate for the additional fuel coming in. Head will be fine...

  6. 2hrs to do a fucking valve cover gasket on a i4 engine?

    More like 30 minutes.. pop off valve cover, clean off old gasket, replace with new one, re-install, DONE.

    Never underestimate the overcomplexity of what should be a simple job. Not to mention the noob factor. If it's the first time doing it, it may take at least twice as long.

    I wasn't going by that.

    2hrs flat rate dealership, jesus christ

  7. restraining order really? if this guy is a rapist he wont give a fuck about a restraining order. if this was me and my gf. i would show up at his house with about 4 or 5 of my friends, dont touch him, maybe break some shit tell him if you ever so much as see him around your girl again you will shoot him. plain and simple. i dont fuck around with that kind of shit, you never know what some people will do.

    He's more than likely on electronic monitoring, restraining order + him being monitored = red flag when he goes there
