^lol Omar...I mainly like to cruise. I don't drive like a maniac as you do. haha. Some damn E55 today was trying to take on me straight away but once he saw the curves he hella braked and I kept going, then he saw a straight away again and mashed on it, then braked at the next curve. I'm still trying to break the BBK's in. Don't want to warp them
I was simply listening to...

Thanks to Mac for installing my StopTech BBK yesterday. They look and perform like a dream!

Thanks to Vu for the awesome T1R 3mm wheel spacers. Got some purple bling that people can't see.



Thanks to Fujin(Nate) for his awesome RPF1 17x8 +45. I finally swapped your 225/45/17 for some 245/40/17 StarSpecs. Sorry, to hear about your front fenders. Hope you are able to get them custom flared out like mine to fit the 255/40/17
Wow, looks great & I bet it performs well too! Surprised to see those fit that size wheel! What is the wheel sizing you would need to fit those under a 9" RPF?

To clear StopTech 328X28mm ST40 BBK using Enkei RPF1 rims, I had to change my 17X9 +45 offset tires of 255/40/17 in front, to a less aggressive 17X8 +45 with tire size of 245/40/17(max width for that offset). Although the StopTech BBK's clear without wheel spacers, I still couldn't slide a credit card b/t the inner spokes and calipers. I decided to add a 3mm T1R wheel spacer which gave plenty of BBK clearance but I believe all you need is a 1-2mm wheel spacer which is enough to have a peace of mind when it comes to preventing your rim from scratching your caliper. Too bad I'm not running 255/40/17 all around anymore. Also, I don't like how the front 17X8 +45 has the rpf1 spokes concaved-out instead of convexed-in, making the front rim not deep dish anymore. But with the huge bright red BBK calipers bling-ing behind the rim spokes, it counters the downside of the deepdish, screaming out 4 pistons bling bling FTW yo! lol





Damn...Mac said these Axxis ULTStreet Performance Pads will produce a lot of brake-dust, he wasn't kidding.

White AP2 w/ goldd wheels cut me off and crossed two lanes to make a left turn, seemingly WOT w/ exhaust

White AP2 across the street from NetApp.

Around 7pm today, saw a woman driving a Blue CR on capitol expressway. I was in the sebring with BBS LMs. Gave you the thumbs up, and you did the same. Then we started driving "spiritedly" up until the left turn on to Tully road. That's where it got fun haha, we both pushed our S's a bit harder but then I had to turn into the Glens. You gave me the honk as I turned, and I gave you another thumbs up.
