Hey guys, got a couple questions real quick about my 02 Sport:
Tires- With winter now hitting in Michigan, I think I would like to purchase a good set of snow tires for the winter months. I've owned 3 SUV's and have never done this, but I think it would be worth it. Who makes a good tire for this? Maybe even a size slightly larger than stock? Keep in mind these are ONLY winter tires and will only see less than 3k miles a year. I do not have a ton of cash to spend, and buying used doesn't bother me. Where should I look? I would prefer to mount them on the stock wheels to save $$.
Leaf Springs- My X suffers from horrible rear end sag, and it seems to be getting worse. I remember seeing here that replacing the springs with a set from a 4 door X would solve my problem. What years will fit?
Brakes- I need new pads and rotors for all 4 wheels, I've been neglecting them through the summer, and now that the slippery roads are here it just has to be done. Is there anything special about replacing pads and rotors on a 4WD vs. 2WD? I've done 2WD, haven't done 4 yet.
Thanks!
