    update. the more i drive it, the stiffer the brakes feel. maybe the pads need broke in a little longer than normal ones. i did the break in procedure the first day and got only a slight bit of harder pedal. after a few days now its def got more stiff.

    That stance is pretty shweet! Looks like those tires won't clear the rear lips too good.. so tell those potential passengers you'll have to come back and pick them up 1 by 1. Just gives you that much more seat time is all! :)
