I assume you're the type to want to keep your wheels fresh/clean. I recommend you switching out to a different set of pads, unless you plan on wiping the wheels down every night. If you leave the dust on for a while, the dust could effectively stain/etch your wheels. I ordered a set of Akebono Pro ACT pads... hopefully I'll get a chance to install them sometime next month.

Oh and I have the 12.8" rotors. I had thought the squealing/dusting might've been related to that, but I'm about 90% sure it's completely due to the pads.
Yeah ill have to order some new pads. Not gonna keep riding around with squeaky and dusty pads. Let me know how those Akebono pads are.

Well I hope it would cost you less to install versus the dealership. Got quoted about $180 at my local dealership.

Got new front springs with shorter shocks so now ill be running 18kg all around. Also ordered upper control arms... Ended up sending back my front wheels to rotiform as they didnt clear my calipers which is their fault for not getting the correct measurements so now another 2 weeks or so till i get the front wheels. Aiming for next month to have everything installed fingers crossed.

Damn, sucks about the wheels. But I guess as long as they're gonna make it right then. I ended up not going with rotiforms. The specs on the wheel I wanted were either too "weak" or too aggressive for me.

well my ideal specs for wheels were 19x9.5 + 45. I was so close to pulling the trigger on the SPF's but it was either 19x8.5 +35 (too skinny) or 19x10 +40 (too wide) However the wheels I did order are still a little too aggressive for me offset wise, but oh well lol. 19x9.5 +35

Yeah the SPF are nice and so are the new KPS from Rotiform but 19x9.5 +35 is pretty good. Not really aggressive.

Did a thing last night. Someone quoted me $300 to just open the headlights and i was like hell no lol so decided to do it myself. Took out the amber and buffed the headlights by hand. Came out pretty good im happy with it. Hopefully it sealed good. Got myself some very inexpensive euros lol
