SLK55R

Had my calipers painted Cherri Red.

Installed Steel Brake lines.

Switched to Porterfield Brake pads.

Installed Michelin Pilot Sport Cups on my Carlssons (My GOD are these tires expensive)

Installed Quaife LSD!

I'll have pics up after the shop send me the photos.

Thanks again to Sonic Motorsports in Mountain View! I appreciate Darwin and his team staying late to get everything done.

Btw I was going to get Evosport 2 piece rear rotors but since they kept messing up the parts, broken promises on shipping, missing shipping again and again ... then need another week ... I just cancelled my order.

The Michelin Pilot Sport Cups are next on my list, glad your enjoying your car post some latest pics of the tyres and the suspension.

SLK55R, how do you like the porterfield pads compared to the OEM ones?

You niticed that big a difference from other street tires, eh? Hmm, maybe I should give these a try. Addicted, I think the Cups have like 6/32 tread life (new). How long did they last you (ie mileage?). Thanks!

Finally...you got a good LSD! Good job Jessie - I hear the Quaife has a good lockup ratio - it should help with traction a bit. BTW, the red painted calipers....good for at least +20 rwhp. I'm yankin' your chain - I bet they look cool. See ya round.

yeah finally got it ...

the cups last maybe 4k miles on highway driving.

Pads seem fine ... I'm way overbraked couldn't really notice a difference. I never had any type of fade.
