Damn... really? people don't like them even on a standard motor let along something that's rocking as many ponies as you are.  Although not Standard mines not pushing anything like yours and it's rolling with Corrado G60 Brakes up front...  I would strongly recommend a subtle upgrade at least because even on a strip they will fade fast me thinks.

Same as me, yes it does make a difference.

Yeah i'm on 15's and the G60's are spot on... a worthwhile upgrade for sure.
