You could have just unplugged the coil pox 1 by 1 to see any difference in performance

I was always told to swap the bad coil to another cylinder and see if the misfire follows it to the other cylinder which in this case it did pretty quickly. This would also explain my intermittent hesitation I've been suffering from too.

I assume you didn't get the parts from Momentum?

Yup. Much needed since my fuel gauge is all whacky lately.

Got underneath it to replace the inner control arm balljoints (bolted to the subframe and easily replaceable on the XI) when I realized that they tore because the bushings were completely and totally destroyed. So, placed an order with Powerflex. The RTABs should probably be done too, but oh man, I'm beat.

Found out my HK tweeters are totally shot. I can't hear it though. Only found it while looking for a rattle in the door panels. **** they are expensive. Anyone know how the Bavarian Soundwerks tweeters sound? They are supposed to be an upgrade but they are cheaper than 2 tweeters.

I got run into the jersey barrier on Meadowbrook pkwy on Long Island by a couple kids racing. I think I bent both front and rear drivers side wheels (they are all rashed up), or messed something up front in the suspension. Car shakes at 40 mph, and pulls to the left pretty bad.The whole thing just sucks.. I finally got the car running perfect (just spent $2,700 couple months ago going over everything) looking the way I wanted,and now this happens..

Because you don't know who made them. I wouldn't cheap out on something like rotors. If they are forged poorly then they are dangerous. They will crack under repeated braking (heating) and cooling. Then you hit the car in front of you at 70 mph off the interstate ramp. At least get a brand so you can sue someone when they fail hahaha.
Just read the Ebay pic. You got cross drilled/slotted. That means the rotors are going to be further weakened even more than the lower quality metal would have done. I wouldn't use these. $200 for 4 rotors and pads is way too cheap. Hell, my Grand Cherokee fronts only were $300 (though those are bigger than our 330 brakes). Get the $400(Brembo rotors) kit from TurnerMotorsports and don't buy cross drilled. I would return them. Brakes are way too important to cheap out on. They can save your life when they work or kill you if they fail. Those type of items need quality parts. You can cheap out on other things less important.
