    Brake Brandishing [burnishing]/My wheels are trashed

    Lol I think it flew over people's heads but I get it too hahaha but my bad for my lack of vocabulary. Feel free to change it if you'd like because I don't know how to 🤷🏻‍♂️ and also I think my post isn't supposed to go in this "general" category but I messed up there as well.

    Brake Brandishing [burnishing]/My wheels are trashed

    I use my brakes a lot! I usually hit the local mountain roads for fun. But I think I was more trying to help others possibly remedy the lack of bite from the oem pads. Thought of sharing as the first troubleshooting method that's free. Then we can start to see if new brake pads are necessary...

    Brake Brandishing [burnishing]/My wheels are trashed

    I got some PS4S tires for my possibly bent rims. Went 255 this time but I really really want some 19s or 18s. I'm about to lower the car too on Teins but obviously this is a little bit of a set back. The coilovers are ready just gotta deal with this first. Think about the cost savings though...

    Brake Brandishing [burnishing]/My wheels are trashed

    when i still had the ///m i switched to some akebonos. Some hybrid ceramics that created less brake dust but still had great feel. They also didnt need brandishing, they already came pre-bedded. I feel you on the brake lines and brake fluid. That's what comes with the track package for the...

    Brake Brandishing [burnishing]/My wheels are trashed

    They do get it done! But sometimes in those rare situations... i do feel like the brakes dont give me much confidence. I just press harder to get the results needed but there IS some untapped potential with some brake brandishing
