Welcome to the Forum.

Also, in the future if you value your left ring finger and that diamond please take the ring off when wrenching, more so when using an impact gun.

Reminds me, still need to have my ring fixed.

the wheels and new tires have so much more grip. the brake bite a lot better then my stock pads for sure. EBC states it takes about 200 miles for them be broken in so i have to drive easy for the first 50 miles on them. i cant wait to try them out at an auto x soon. i defiantly suggest anyone to try out the EBC brakes.. great set up. all in all in very happy with my car and much more i want to do. i hope you all enjoy.
