I've never understood the stretched tire look... to each their own.

 

Stretched tires= more probability for damaged / rashed rims. No thanks, good rims cost to much to risk.

 

Exactly! The 'Ricans we do have down here are fiercely ethnocentric. LOL
My step mother is full PR and there is only two ways to insult her,

1) put salt on her home cooking
2) compare 'Ricans to Cubans.

 

It's 4* Fahrenheit and sunny this morning. (Yes, four degrees. Sigh.) think I'll take a drive in the G and buy some Valentines Day crap.

 

I can't tell what you are more excited about, driving your car in 4* weather, or getting Valentines Day crap

I learned you can't fit a 2' x 4' piece of plywood in the trunk of a G37. So now I need my wife's MDX. And of course she has a laundry list of errands she wants to run, and since she can't drive my car, my home improvement project is on hold.

 

Sorry about the cold weather. I just found an oil leak on my Harley Davidson. Looks like the front cylinders head gasket. Good thing it's still under warranty. It's always something though.

 

These beauties arrived yesterday. I plan on tearing them apart this coming week and drop them for powder coating.

 

Excellent. What color?

 

This may be a stupid question, but will the Akebono calipers work without the larger discs? Or does the diameter not permit this? I guess if you buy the sport calipers might as well get the discs huh?

 

The only stupid question warped is the one not asked. I'd say anyone who has done the BBK upgrade from stock to Akebono would know. I'm interested as well because I'm going to eventually do this as well. Mechanically speaking though I'd imagine the diameter of the rotors might be the same or close, but the thickness might be different.

Oh and if anyone hasn't read the wheel thread I found a set of OEM coupe sport 19s to blast and powedercoat! Thinking strongly of a GTR gunmetal color.

 

Big brakes require a larger braking surface hence the larger rotors (disks) so it makes no sense in getting the calipers and not getting the, much larger than stock, rotors. The two go hand in hand.

 

Thanks Zoster. I figured as much. In the meantime, I've been researching my suspension setup. I think I'm gonna go with either Eibach or Swift springs and buy a front and rear camber kit just to be safe. I imagine I'll be upgrading to coils next year, as well as a BBK.

 

The eibach drop is a bit milder than the Swift so with the eibachs you will not need a camber kit. I need a came kit now with my coilovers since I went lower than what I was before.

 

Excellent. I'm still waiting for mine to come back from paint. Patiently you ask?

 

I think you explained it better than I can, but yes PR is a huge political mess. lol

Ricans in South Florida = proud and easy to recognize (most likely tattooed with some PR culture sh*t)

Ricans in NY = Marc Anthony?
