I have 225/40/19 on my F and 245/4/19 for my R Coupe Rays and definently wouldn't go any bigger than that. Save yourself the money and just buy the factory spec tire size

I used to run 245/275s on my stock tires and they fit great! But of course u will lose a little mileage with it unfortunately. I might even dial back to 275s so I have a bit better fitment out back, but I will have to see how these 285s do and if I get some more rubbing. It's not a nice scene to have dust from your tires on the outside of your fender

Since I will be taking Friday off and Thursday evening I will be working extra on Saturday. Otherwise I would be down for sure!! But maybe I can get together with the group a diff weekend. Lately I've been working more Sat mornings so that hasn't been too helpful.

Unfortunately it's too late to go with completely stock sizing. I have two 245/35-19 Michelin Pilot Sports waiting to be mounted. So i was either thinking to put those on the rear and put 225/40-19 on the front which might also help with the slight fender gap in the front (look at my pic in the new mods section, those are 245/35 all around). Or keep the 245/35 sizing up front and put 245/35, 255/35, or 265/35 on the rear. Basically I'm a college student with limited funding so im keeping a look out for a good, 75%+ tread, half the price of new, used set...

Andrew - stoptech rotors and pads
Tevi - mu pads



For everyone w rotors and pads...this would keep your stock rotors, and just be a direct rotor and pads upgrade. Just so you don't think its a BBK upgrade w larger rotors or calipers.

This is what everyone wants correct????
for brake pads, please check on both hawk ceramic and project mus...haven't decided which ones i wanna go with yet

I should hear back early this morning on what type of a discount I can get as a whole.

Def won't be going down to Roch. Going to try and get my car in for my installation on Saturday so I can break it in all afternoon

I say we plan on doing like a BBQ on Saturday afternoon, or all day Sunday. I have the whole weekend open.

+1 to the BBQ idea, my parents will be out of town for the next week so if the crew wants to come over for a BBQ we can def do that over in Plymouth
