    love how many people try and coach Steve on what to do. this man is one of the best in the audio/car game. everyone can have their different oppinions and different taste on thing's, but I personally think he's top of the line on all of his vehicles when it comes to style.

    I havent cared about car stereos since I was in my teens, but I really enjoy your channel.. and find myself excited to see your videos. Your video storytelling has been getting better also.. your editing skills are improving.. great work.

    That's the beauty of having a shop of your own... When you're not feeling lazy, you can do repairs/installs/upgrades yourself... Sometimes it's fun, when everything goes right lol

    Hell yeah. I cant believe Cadillac still puts rear drums on those escalades. Huge upgrade over those, looks clean AF man, as always.

    • @meade916
      @meade916  8 років тому +1

      they aren't drums on the rear of the escalade FYI. They are disc brakes. The drum you see is the inside of the housing and it is for the E-brake.

    • @wadehensley5005
      @wadehensley5005 8 років тому

      i see. still clean AF tho

  • @mrchrisk36
    @mrchrisk36 8 років тому

    Nice will wood makes awesome brake kits I like that you upgrade the brakes for big wheels it's takes a bit more to stop when you have big wheels on a heavy vehicle like the caddy looking good and being safe can't argue with that!!

    • @bradnaylor
      @bradnaylor 8 років тому

      Nice touch! We're they black first or something? They look good! I can't wait to see the rims! I'm in suspense for what you're going to do with the audio...

    • @meade916
      @meade916  8 років тому

      i don't think they were black at first. They were just raw. Had them done at the factory. thanks!!

    @Rickyog2009 8 років тому

    nice man! I bought those wilwood big brake 6 piston conversion kits for my 71 challenger the only difference is I got the ones for 15" wheels. The 6 piston calipers just look sick as hell though

  • @AttilaThebung
    @AttilaThebung 8 років тому

    Surprised to see the ol' snipe on the ratchet trick.. If it was me my first port of call would've been the breaker bar, but I know Steve would've had his reasons for using the ratchet and a snipe, and it worked.

    • @meade916
      @meade916  8 років тому

      dude. That IS a breaker bar. Just because it is actually a jack handle doesn't mean it isn't still a breaker bar.

  • @bigmatt503

    You should do a video explaining why you go with an aftermarket break kit when buying larger than stock wheels

    • @meade916
      @meade916  8 років тому +1

      nahh sounds boring. I say ride with what ya got. My shit stopped just fine on 24's and 26's with stock brakes. It is MUCH better of course with the upgrade but i always got along fine without them.

      it is very hard to describe how nice it really is. It isn't just a fast stop but a smooth, effortless stop. You don't get that big front end dip when you slam on them either. It all stops nice and even. They are great :D
