I expect to see you drive the crap out of it after all that happened.

Yes. That is quite frustrating. The tail came loose on a turn with the fresh rain and tires still shiny! I was excited! Just popped a second on. A sharp turn.

Break in period is KILLING ME :mad0260: . This badboy wants 4500+. I get close to 3800 rpm in a tiny blip.

Congratulations -- I'm very happy for you, as I'm sure we all are! Now pop open a little champagne or a beer, sit down in your favorite chair, and change your profile where it says: "Drives: ."

:cheers:

Those wheels look spectacular on the grey!
Now go outside, grab a rock and throw it at your front bumper as hard as you can. Get that first chip out of they way.

I guess it's just an optical illusion, but those Brembo calipers look extra close to the inside of the wheels in your pics!

nope!

No illusion. You could get 2 credit cards behind there is all I am guessing. I will see if i can make a measurement tomorrow. scary low clearance. the BREMBOS ARE ENORMOUS.

The advertisements had them as small long red things. They are huge footballs.

They also make for the most solid braking experience ever. Like a brick but really smooth and even. Love them. Braking is satisfying. It makes me want to get max summer grip tires and see what they can do after break in.

Hopefully that rain water will buff out...
