Getting new PS4s/alignment this Thursday morning. Making my Hellcat Great Again...

Long time no see. How are you doing?

That’s not horrible. Maybe.

Good my friend. Hope you are all doing well.

First time driving Hellcat since new brakes/rotors as we have had rain.

I want to say the car feels smoother? Not sure if in my head?

Tomorrow is new PS4s and alignment.

the originals were probably slightly warped?

I think he is the original owner.

And buying a multi-door, also slightly warped.

original brakes

Maybe so...spoke with tech and he didn't say anything about it nor did I ask. Original brakes...yes.

Those that purchased their Hellcat new...did you all bedd in your brembo brakes and rotors...I didn't.

Meh. I don't really use my brakes, so no need to make them as effective as possible.

As I've discussed...I have had a slight vibration in the steering wheel at around 80 mph and sometimes it is intermittent based on road conditions.

Wonder if related to rotors somehow. After new PS4s and alignment I will go test.

I wonder...

I would think it’s more likely related to tire balancing.

Takes some miles for the pads to set in.

I absolutely did, and do on occasion since, even when I'm not changing rotors and/or pads every other week.

Driving "normally" will undo a good bedding...

The PS are great for dust, but the Brembos are superior for stopping. I was shocked at just how noticeable it was.
FWIW - I have a slightly used pair of Brembo pads off of my 2016 free to a good home. Just pay shipping.

 

[Hellcatcfp]

Tires done...alignment now.

 

[Hellcatcfp]

Tested 80 mph range, zero vibration/road shake. Maybe my car is finicky, but damn those Michelin PS4s just make a huge difference.

Got gas on the way home and a kid (maybe 13 or so) walks over and asks is that a Hellcat?

Me: Yes, sir

Kid: is it a Redeye

Me: Nope, just a regular Hellcat

Want to say over the years I've had others reply with the Redeye question. Hilarious...

Hope the kid appreciated my launch onto the highway...those PS4s aren't cheap.

My Hellcat is back to optimal riding satisfaction.

 

[Hellcatcfp]

P-Zeros, PS4s, Continental all seasons, now back to PS4s. 45,500 ÷ 3 = 15,167 average miles per set of tires. Are you all getting around that?

 

[Jimmy N.]

I dunno. Still on my first set, which will be replaced in the spring because they're getting old.

How many miles? Perhaps yours will be timed out rather than usage?
