    Put Bilsteins on the Silverado

    Very nice. Helped a friend install some Bilsteins on his AMG. First time besides an oil change he'd worked on his car. Good times. As he was underneath doing the dirty, noticed my GMC and his MB shocks are the same color. derp

    Porsche surface coated brakes
