Default Monte Update

So i got the front wheel hub and bearing installed for it to only go out 15 days later. But i took it into advance auto parts and they gave me a new one with no problem. Also they did i price matching to ZZP price for the wheel hub.

Then i installed the ZZP stage 1 TB and wow what a difference it made from a 30 roll. havent really got to top end becasue i want to make sure the bearing is good. but wow what a difference it has allready made in daily driving. MPG is 3 above what it was normally at.

Then the brake calipers started to lose some of the paint and start to chip so i took them off and sanded them down cleaned them and then put a coat of POR15 on them so they should be good for a while.

Then i had ordered an extra set of strut bars from Ed Morad off ebay a while ago and finally got around to painting them to match the engine cover.

Here are some pics what do you think of the calipers and the new strut bars?

and excuse the engine being dirty right now. sorry

You know the wrapping around the passenger side stabilizer bar (the one that holds the wires off the battery)

What did you do with that and the wires now that you took it off and painted the bar?
