Yes, the EBC Green Stuffs gotta go. They heat up too easily and then just burn away. Yellow Stuff or Hawk HP+"s will take care of you np. No complaints from Hawk pads, love them. I just want 6-pot calipers up front with 4 pots in the back. I gotta switch my brake fluid, stock fluid is shite. Gonna boil in the summer.

Izzo, coils, sways, and z-brakes with pads and you are good. I got two clean 300mm rotors if you want. $20 and they are yours. Relatively clean, looks like they were resurfaced, full surface area. If you want a stock rotor you can’t go wrong.

Actually I wouldn’t rock anything other than Hawk HP+ race pads. The only thing is that they take a long time to really break in nice. I didn’t bead them per hawk specs, but I did break them in by being on and off the brakes, never dragging them, heating and cooling them for 1500kms. I ended up with s proper bead and break, film on the rotor, etc. The only thing is…these pads aqueek. They always fricken squeak. I think squeaking brakes is baller, but some people hate it. I can’t recommend HP’s enough. Everyone should have them!

Yeah, and you know what else?

Unicorns are extinct on all parts of the universe EXCEPT earth, so guess where the  
intergalactic bounty hunters will be heading for hunting season…

You guessed it, home sweet fuckin home, 3rd rock, big blue, the place Youve all grown to know and love.

We’re boned!
