Meh. It drives nice. I'm not gong to worry for now. The side mount took care of the axle wobble. What rotors are these? I cant believe they are warped so bad. The fronts and the rears both. They look pretty new too.

honestly, for light duty, it's worth the low cost and cool looks, but I can't pull the trigger on it for the S given how fast I have to brake with how "spiritedly" I drive the car. I'd warp those in a heartbeat.

I have brakemotive on my SSM TL. They are about 2.5 months old and are showing the early signs of warping. I love the look though.

wacky, couple years back (when I had my radio in the car), I just went to XM (total accident) and was shocked to see it was active...funny enough they "started" a 3 month trial without me needing to activate....

was fun while it lasted, then it was back to radio and now to Pandora/Spotify

I finally got the locking lugs off today. I used the lug removal tool and was able to get two of them off. The other two were so tight I had to use a chisel to loosen them. It took a couple hours. Major PITA. I got the 15mm spacers on the front and the 20mm spacers on the rear. I'm hoping to clean both cars up tomorrow and possibly get some pictures of them both.
