    E-brake issues

    I have had to tighten the caliper (with the hex head wrench) roughly 6-10 times so far. I believe it is the piston not staying in place. If this is the case, any ideas on how to "fix it"?

    Slowly Coming upon 100k miles

    Iridiums are better than platinums and you wouldnt notice a difference at low RPMs. Pony up and get Iridiums and not have to worry about dealing with your spark plugs for 50-100k miles.
