performance products is the main distributor, we get it from them, so there will be a slight discount compare to their price if you get it from us.

Thanks!
they performed a code test and they said it showed the pump not working. They replaced the pump, drained and refill the coolant.

the pump actually started dying since I got the HREs that's when I first noticed the problem, but thought it was just a glitch. dated back to last summer. I was wondering why the couple time I went up against a IS300 and couldn't pull away from them like before.

Goes perfectly with your color scheme.

How's braking performance in comparison with the stock AMG brakes?

thanks ling,

the brake definitely stops a little better than the AMG Brembos due to lighter rotors and bigger pistons. the calipers are also a little wider wich in terms need just a little more clearance.
