Like i said. Wait to try moving the gear lever into first until the moment you are transitioning from roll to stop. It will allow you to glide in like butter. You will feel this and know its right.

Waiting until you are fully stopped or are rolling too fast is harder on your first gear snychro thats why it doesn't feel like butter and takes pushing in vs gliding in like butter.

Do you even race bro? lol. An aggressive pad is going to make stopping on the street WORSE since they'll never be at the correct temperature.

Do you care about brake dust an noise? I like Hawk HPS or if you don't care about squealing the HP+. These are fairly aggressive pads that are fully compliant with street temperatures

I do race! And I don't care about noise or brake dust. The louder the better! I'll try the HP+. Thanks!

HPS are nice, fairly low dust too. How are the HP+ pads with dust?

Welp!

My salesman called me to come check out the series yellow because I hadn't seen a '17 model yet.

My CWP limited non-pp was due to come in late march (I ordered in early November).

I regretted not going with the PP. I left the dealership very impressed with the PP and inquired about possibly changing my order to get the PP. Couldn't change my order without waiting a few more months.

I get home and my salesman lets me know a CWP with PP and a few other accessories was coming to a different dealer. I am now officially getting my CWP with PP this Monday or Tuesday! So excited to be getting it much earlier plus with PP.

Why does it look like MORE gender gap than with stock wheels? I gotta get my coils on ASAP. I'm sick of being so damn high off the ground.

I think the HPS throw a lot of dust. They always turned my front wheels black in one autox event! HP+ have similar dust but I can't handle the noise!!!

PP is overrated IMO. I'm glad I didn't spend. I got my 2017 Premium BRZ for $25,067. I didn't order it either. Just went to a Subi dealer and bought it. Lol Good pads in the stock brakes will be just fine. Driver skill > cool looking brakes.

Congrats!

I'm still confused about why it takes longer for some people to get their cars and less for others. Waiting till the end of March for the one you ordered and you ordered in early November? I ordered mine at the end of December and was told March 1st. (CWP 2017 Limited and PP)

I took the picture right after setting that side down, so it does look a little higher than usual.
