Hey Guys-- I noticed that my stock brakes aren't working as sharply since I replaced stock tires(205/6515) with 17" Rims + Yoko(235zr4517). Do I need to upgrade my brake pads/rotors for better brake performance?
If so, any suggestions on which ones I should get?
Thanks=)

Hey Maxgurl, think you could send me a pic of the VX1 rims on your car. Those have caught my eye before, and i've narrowed it down to those, the Mille Miglia Evos and Spiders, although i'm leaning towards the Evos now. Nonetheless, a pic would help me make a decision.
Thnx.
Thnx.

yupe, need better pads
the brake does feel it's not gripping as hard when upgrading to 17", better pads should solve the problem.. i am still trying to wear out the factory pad so i can go aftermkt... meanwhile, drive safely loh~~~

Hey BossmaX~
~All I gotta say is 'it wasn't me'.
I haven't scanned pic of my ride yet...
Next Week--I Promised*
Check out http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/index.jsp
They carry Mille's and u can see how they look on your Max.
While you're there, click on Moda R4 wheels, they look very similar to my VX1s.

This is where I got the pads, around $25 shipped (front only)!
