no, just stock - but, a long time ago, I hit a rock and had a hole in my old one. Just replaced it.

yep, ECS stage III - I'm having an issue with street pads. It is pad related though........

the car doesn't stop as well as I'd like - now, put some track pads in there and your eyeballs might hit the dash when you slam the brakes!

I was rubbing with 225 SO3s - rolled the fenders to fix that but didn't want to risk it.....

those PS2s are not cheap and I'm not sure the fenders could be rolled more - I'm happy with stock size. Also, in Chicago, not sure if I'd want less sidewall - there are some potholes here that could swallow your car

Yep, they look much smaller than my 17" BBS RKIIs because of that........

I got a good deal on the HREs so went for it. I still like my gun metal RKIIs a bit better but I'm NOT running HREs in the winter - I should probably sell them now since they are in PERFECT condition since the re-do and get something cheaper to run in the winter. Then, I could just run the BBS as my summers.
