The addiction has begun! The goods arrived the same day so I couldn't help but take a pic of the pile. Hawk HPS pads from Acuteperformance....Matte black grills and VMR V718's from Trinity. Thanks Michael and Nerwyll! I have the lighting mods on the way from John (brabus). Sorry for the not-so-great phone pics but it was late and excited....

You will love the pads!!! Why didn't you get the rotors from Michael @ Acute? Did you measure your rotors to make sure that they were above min. thickness? If not, get'em replaced as you are swapping the pads. It'll only take you another 10 minutes a corner to swap the rotors if you do it at the same time. I highly recommend R1 premium rotors.

I actually installed the pads already and they are great! I considered the rotors but changed my mind. Now I'm kicking myself for not pulling the trigger. I had plenty of thickness left on the stock rotor and tons of meat left on the stock pads as well. As for the rear tires, do you guys recommend 275/30 or 285/30? I've seen both from pictures and I can't tell the difference. Will this decision depend on my suspension set up? Currently, I have stock sport springs with no plans on getting after market springs. But....things may change.
