Toyo Proxes T1-R. I decided to stay with my OEM rims. I like them better than the $2000 I'd be shelling out on the BBS rims, then tires too. Decided to use some of the extra funds for brakes.

Probably have the tires mounted on Friday.

BTW, I got the tires for $125 each. That's another good reason why I made that choice.

Cheers!

Got a call and the tires are in today. I'll post first impressions when I get home tonight.

BTW, I'm loving shredding the heck out of my current set, given that I have new ones coming. Going around a wide corner, I got the tires spinning throughout 1rst, 2nd, & 3rd gears with ESP off. It was into 4th gear before they grabbed at all. What a smokey mess.

yeah but you can get rid of a kidney. I heard it's worth up to 10 k. Think about the mods you can do for that.

Wouldnt it be easier to just go to the manufacturers and rob the warehouse? i mean how much security do car part warehouses really have?
especially Brembo

That would be so awesome to see a gigantic caliper that just squeezes the hell out of someone. But Iif I saw that I might want to put it on my car think about the stopping power.

no Borla does... its on the Exhausts allready built in.

anything not "activated" upon purchase & leaving the premises basically leaves the
system non-functioning. instead of a nice deep tone / growl - it sounds like a ballerina farting...
