Okay people spring is around the corner and I've got some goodies on the way! I just ordered 2 new front rotors. They are the SP Performance Diamond Slotted rotors


I also ordered the EBC GreenStuff pads to go along with them (front and rear)


And for my wheels that will be getting put back on I ordered some new rubber! I got the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's. They are 235/45/17. I can't wait! My old Toyo's were 215's...it's gonna handle like a dream!


They all should be in by the end of February. I will be taking pictures when it's all done and installed :thumbsup:

ALSO!! I AM REPAINTING MY CALIPERS, I CURRENTLY HAVE WHITE ONES BUT THEY NEVER STAY CLEAN (BUT LOOK NICE WHEN THEY ARE)....WHAT ARE YOUR SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW COLORS OR SHOULD I KEEP EM WHITE?

Updates to come!

Adam

either keep them white....or go with red....or back to black.....

I think I just might do Red on the calipers...red always seems to look good even when dirty

everyone does red though.......if there's one color that always stands out whenever i see painted rotors on a car its red........so if you wanna be like everyone else reds the way to go.......i think black would look good as im lookin at ur rims......but up to you.....

black would look to close to stock.....but your call man..i have some red caliper paint...if you want to yours when i do mine...

go with black but red or white wouldnt look bad either.

I've never seen black painted calipers before...do they even stand out? As for the being close to stock, I don't know about that because stock ones are like a cast aluminum (like our manifolds) color. If I can find a pic or some pics of some cars w/ black calipers I might just do it, but I wanna see what it looks like first.

that is the only decent pic i could find...and idk...with white rims it looks nice, but w/ my hyperblack ones I think it'd be too dark

oh yeah i forgot..well they are black on my car..does not stand out at all...I would do them...in...white or red.... :thumbsup:

Nice rotors and tires. I have those tires myself. The greenstuff brake pads I have had too and I wouldn;t use them again. The dust from them is easy to get off but there sure is a TON off it still. I corrected that issue by going to ceramic. Just thought you might want to know before you put them on.

Thanks Crazy...I already ordered them so I guess they're goin on regardless, but my wheels are pretty open so I doubt I'll have that big of a problem, and I wash my car like twice a week when it's warm out so even if dust collects, it wont b there for long.

Where did you get the rotors? for how much? and are you using them with the stock calipers?

Yeah, I ran them too. They were the most dustingest mofo's I've ever seen.
They stopped really good though :) .

What was disgusting?! The rotors?! They look awesome! and work GREAT!

The fronts are $191.69 SHIPPED (to IL) from www.raceshopper.com they're made by SP Performance (not SLP lol). I am using factory calipers with upgraded pads (or will be I should say).

Those pads were awesome, dusty, but awesome. I had them on the 'ho as well. They saved my ass more then once.

Good call on the brake pad and rotors. I would say go with red on the calipers. Oh, and I have those exact tires in a 225 and I love them. I've owned Falkens, Nittos, and other "high performance" brands before. I think these have by far been the best bang for the buck tire I've ever owned.

DUSTINGEST (poop loads of dust!) Not disgusting!
You will be washing your wheels every three days.

ahhh my bad, didnt read it close enough... I like to keep my wheels clean NE way so washing them every 3 days is pretty much normal in the summer

hey, smell the brake pads when you get them... yummy.

are thoes tires good in snow? and would you recomend for a lexus
