update. :)

if i can add a little more .... when i was installing the motors i thought i'd just wipe any stuff out of the vertical and horizontal rails/tracks (not disassembling or loosening anything. power widows can be soooo hard to work on). it turned out to be an all day job. there was a lot of stuff...

i'm not sure i can answer accurately about actual speed. it was good or normal for sure. but my attention was more directed toward concern about the motors torque against the new window moldings. with that in mind the motors seemed nice and 'quick' to me.

i received my hubcentric rings and the front rim. fast deliveries. i've read a lot of people have issues with some of the things i'm going to do. here is my experience with photos. - i'm going from 120.65mm/4.750" gbody lug pattern on my car to 120mm/4.724" on my new rim. some say you can and...
