What Would Glenn Danzig Do
Make sure your brakes are up for it.

Have EBC blue ready to go on, but might go with an alternative since I've found some pretty mixed reviews. I guess I need to get them bedded in and see how they do before I make a decision.
I'd prefer to use what FCP has in stock (Hawk and Ferodo) since I love their lifetime return policy for consumables, but they don't carry G-loc or Porterfield which I've had good experiences with, in the past.

It was an impulse purchase since I had $800 worth of other parts in my FCP cart, and I clicked buy before doing any research. Should I just return them and get the Ferodo DS2500 or possibly something from Hawk? Bonus points for a suggestion of a solid pad that FCP carries.

I wish FCP had better pad choices, but they'd go broke if they did.
I'd definitely do 2500's over anything EBC. They deserve all the hate they get.

Make sure to use high temp racing brake fluid too. Srf is expensive but worth it's weight in your cars value

The museum is up and going again. I am only an hour north of bowling green. While you are there, make sure to check out the zr-12. It's a c4 zr1 with a v12 in it. 1 of 1 from gm.

Also, update on my boy. Chest tube came out at noon. Waiting for chest xray to confirm no more fluid. Possibly may get to go home today.

We. Are. Home!!!!
Last chest xray looked good. Have a followup with the surgeon Friday to make sure everything is good and pull out the stitches. Thanks everyone for the thoughts! Flame me all yall want, but someone had a hand on this boy. After watching that impact I honestly didn't think he was alive. Couple life lessons here folks. 1) safety gear at all times. No exceptions. 2) if brakes are acting up, just stay off / out of the vehicle till fixed. 3) be aware of your surroundings. It may not be you that you have to look out for.

As an emergency manager, I heartily agree with your life lessons. In addition, watch out for the gray rhinos (and the black swans)
A gray rhino is something we see everyday, but overlook.
In driving, a "black swan" would be a plane landing on the roof of your car, while a "gray rhino" is that on-ramp where people in front of you tend to stop (or worse yet, start to merge, then stop), yet we don't either pay more attention or take a different route.
Fingers crossed that all goes well.
