    Seats are regular from ebay or amazon. I will try to get a link and post. Rims are black rhino abrams 17" and tires are Toyo's 40's M/T. Not noisy at all for the kind of tire. Edit: seats are from ebay, picture attached.

    brake shudder question

    It happens to me as well. I installed new pads and rotors a few miles ago (less than 500) and it does the same with new parts. Not as much thought but noticeable.

    SOLVED! The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..
