It's easier than trying to slot my own rotors. Hard to chisel out a straight channel in rotors, but drilling is a breeze!

Give it up. It's played out.

Return to the VTEC forum.

I dont track either, just replaced the stock tires off my 2015 GT3 with Michelin P Zero. I like them, smoother ride and kicks up less rocks. $1240 not including tax, mounting, and alignment. Maintaining this car is not cheap, however, much cheaper than the other exotics. And really, congrats and getting your dream car.

I didn't like the P-Zero that were on my S6. Noisy and wore poorly. The Super Sports I got seem to be much better, but I don't have too many miles on them yet. Put the winters on not too long after getting them.

I would not say the stock michelin wore well, lasted only 6k miles. Hope to get a few more miles out of these.
