browsing around for a new brake setup and there are lots of choices and opinions. anything that stands out to you fellow pnwers? looking for a little better than stock on my dd 325. I drive a twisty road everyday to work and seem to *almost* be late a lot ( or maybe its more fun to pretend I am haha).

Thanks guys.
I have a budget of 500 installed for tires.
Just trying to get the best bang for the buck

Dunlop DZ101. $325 out the door. Super grippy. Fuck Toyo, the only place that sells Toyo is Les Schwab and I will never go back there.

[DrJosh]

Where 325 out the door?

[e30austin]

I buy through a tire distributor, but I think tire rack sells them for close to that.

[Twelvizm]

Good question. And what size? $325 doesn't get you shit. Maybe some Nankangs

[e30austin]

205/45/16.

[DrJosh]

Looks like it would be 350 shipped from tire rack for 205/50/15

[e30austin]

That's pretty close to what I paid. Figure another $60 to mount/balance.

[brutus87]

Im sticking with the euroweaves for right right now.

I'm just torn between the 205/50 and 205/55.

Now I just wonder if the Dunlops are better than the Yokos...so many damn options lol

[IronJoe]

Matt, you should totally get a 9-2x.

It's a WRX that actually looks good ;) I always loved this front end:

[Mlarsen]

I think I am.
I'm still mulling over the idea of having car payments...

I've got BF Goodrich G-Force's and could not be more impressed. 215/45/17s or 215/40/17, I forget which. Amazing tires and under $500 for a set.

You're doing it wrong. Motorcycles first, then V8s, then start paying it off, then realize that you sleep on a $30 craigslist bed, do nothing, and repeat.

Hahaha excellent quote. My style of thinking

[Twelvizm]

Damn I love WTCC! That's real racing. Those guys don't race, they fight!
