The wrong rotors arrived at EuroRev so those will be installed on Monday.
10mm spacer in the rear; 3mm in the front
I'm feeling a little shutter under hard braking...something I never felt before...anyone have an idea why? Could it be the front 3mm spacers?

might be a stupid question but did you use longer wheel bolts?

i don't know if this is causing the issue but personally i'd use longer ones in the front even if it's just 3mm

For the rears, yes. For the fronts, no.

What happened to the Asantis??? I was feeling those a lot! Car looks good anyhow!
I may go back to 20s but ONLY if I go with the Alloy Technics in mesh.
I really like the Asantis too but the performance was not there...perhaps it was because the tire size was smaller than recommended...who knows.
