350Z Kumho 710 Install
Dave helped me mount the Kumho 710s on the stock 17” rims tonight. I tell you, it WASN'T easy! It took the two of us to do them all. The fronts were by far the worst. The stock 17 7.5” wheel is probably too little wheel for the Kumho 710 in Read More...

So I've had the pads on the car now for a few weeks. I put Hawk HP+ on the front of the car, and HPS on the rear. They work amazing once they are warmed up, but if you go into an autocross corner without warming up the pads you'll soon realize what you Read More...

350Z Needs some new stoppers
Well, the e-brake warning light ended up being a low brake fluid light. The low break fluid is probably caused by the fact that the pads are about worn out. So, new Hawk pads will be coming next week, along with hopefully some better studs to try to curb Read More...
