booooooooooooooooooooosssssssssssssssssssssssstttt tttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

I use to experience it every morning, now I have a Vtec.

 

Well soon you'll have both!! Let me know how that bish does man!

 

what the heck, you just got them. those look better than each of those wheels, with maybe the exception of the evos.

 

i understand what you mean by feel, but you still can't have some hp+ with wanli tires and step on the pedal. you will most likely lock them up sliding into the car in front of you. on the other hand, you can have some duralast poop pads with some r888 and step on them. the pedal might feel "soft", but you will stop. the tires have rolling resistance against the road, not the brakes.


yes, see last sentence above.

 

 

Ill update you for sure! I should be on track for gettin it tuned tomorrow.
Wanli's are pewp.. I can say that now without taking offense since I sold the Cobalt.

 

Youre right Brad, I agree with you. I do know all that. As long as your brakes have the power to lock up the wheels and be consistent/not suffer from fade, they are suitable. Brake upgrades are for other reasons that you know of but yes the stock brakes with basic pads can lock up the wheels with enough pressure and that offers good modulation at that. Therefore you will see better lap times/shorter braking distances with better tires instead of better brakes.

However I feel that the decision here would be something like some all seasons such as the Kuhmo Ecsta AST vs some summer tires like the S.Drives. I went with better tires than better brakes, but I drive my car and enjoy the cornering grip. Kevin wouldn't be doing any of that so I think that having brakes that feel firmer and that he is more confident in stopping with, is a slightly the better choice. Not to mention the tires would last a lot longer than summer tires. IIRC arent AST's one of the best all seasons offered nowadays? The grip level isn't bad by any means for street driving. It is inferior but were not talking Wanlis vs R comp. They will stop quickly just fine in an emergency. Thats just how I feel but anyone feel free to state your opinions if you like.

Good morning

 

Morning claudipie!

 

Egezzy where r u located?

 

Wait...Whah...Hold on now...What? I knew I should have kept them.

yeah, your points are valid towards all season tires. but, your examples of brake pads is just the same as the tires i used. i used wanlis and toyo triple 8s to show the point. i don't see hps in the same boat as duralast pads. i don't know the duralast or oreilly line, but a better comparison would be better a duralast gold and brake best platinum.

 

TrailBraking and LateApexing in my Power of Dreams.

lol.

indy.

 

hahahaha. you should kick kevin for wanting to sell the wheels.

 

 

Lmao that pic is great!!

 

Yanks to win the World Series woot woot

 

 

Ice cream paint job?

Yeah I'm going to keep em'. I went "Rise and Grind" mode for like 2 months to get them.

Speaking of BMW's

 

 

What league do you run in?

 

Nice beamers.

Serious note, Im getting a squeal when im driving. Mainly on turning, but randomly during other times. I get it sometimes when I hit bumps, but nothing is always definite. Wondering what you guys may think it is. Tie rod?

 

by league, do you mean sanctioning body? hopefully i will be racing time trials with nasa next year. normally i just run with private groups, porsche clubs, bmw clubs, etc.
