Looks to me like you've got plenty of tread left on them - but I'm curious to know how many miles you got out of them?? Also curious how they do when it gets colder - assuming you got the m/s version? I'm down to these or the Toyo Proxes4's. GOtta get some new meat b4 winter....my Kumhos are shot and wouldn't make it through a Midwestern winter even if they were brand new!

I just did had my rotors turned again, and reinstalled them myself - makes a huge difference, doesn't it?!

I got the same set-up, and I love em too.

Drove from NYC to Atlantic City over the long weekend, and they work great. Even had to brake hard once because of some ******* that cut me off, and its great.

Little off topic but damn, your paint looks perfect. My paint looks like I drove my car through the center of Baghdad.

Thanks, but my front end has sure taken a beating. It doesn't all look that good.

Great pics!

Man Epacy GREAT SHOTS with spacers on!!! I liked it a lot! I was planning on doing the exact same thing; putting 15mm H&R spacers, new rotors and new pads! Only I'm going with a bit better rotors and pads.

I was thinking on buying all that this week! I guess you bit me to it again!

No how-to. Changing disc brakes is crazy easy.

Law, sometimes it's good to see some older threads back at the top, many people might not have seen it including me. so sorry if you had to come back to it again.
