Some girl I was talking to here in the hospital was like "I'm so happy these days. Last year I was so miserable".

I had no control over what came out of my mouth which was "subtle I'm taking my meds statement." I think that's the truth because she got rather offended and said "maybe it's my sex life". Now I know that's a lie because she just joined match dot com and has her first date with someone tomorrow.

It wont help unless you have tires to take advantage of it, as you found out that the xp12 offer no performance gain over xp10 on your street tires.

Things that effect brake torque
- friction materials
- torque arm (rotor diameter)
- piston size
- pad surface area

yeah not too happy with the 12s over the 10s, more money out of my pocket and faster wear for the same braking ability. I love me some xp-10s though. Just ordered another set of blank rotors from Amazon and I'm about to search for the best prices on xp10s for the front...

Carbotech are great pads. I would use them if I was paying full price for pads. That's all I use on the s2k. I use hawk on the evo because I can get them for a good price from RB. I don't daily drive my car and wash the car after every events, so Im not worry about the corrosive dust. I do keep a set of st43 around to run in wet if need to. Hawk and water is a no no if you like your wheels.

Im using autozone premium rear pads with lifetime warranty, ill never have to pay for rear pads again.

If by "keep it well managed" you mean take my meds till the script runs out? Then yes, I will.

The searching I did the other night led me to Saferacer. Its hard to find a better price once you use the discount code. Happy hunting.

I like your swagger kid.

how's the F/R bias with those autozone pads in the back? If the hawks are anywhere near the XP10s in terms on bite you should be locking that bish up and wagging the tail at all the hard braking zones.

I tried xp10's in the front and DS2500's in the rear and it SUCKED on my car. braking at more than 70% would instantly activate ABS.

I didn't want to join either. I had more problems with the meds than I did with the Lyme. Those meds and working in the sun was not a good combo.

Who knows the medication might have changed since then, I think I was diagnosed 9yrs ago
