Default New shoes and brakes

My Nittos were starting to get a little low so I started browsing Ebay for tires. Stumbled across some brand new 35x12.50r20 Pro Comp AT Sports for $1000 shipped and Pro Comp has a $100 rebate. I'm running a 2" level with 1.25" BORA spacers. Minor air damn trimming and the back of the fender liners pulled back with zip ties. I really like these tires. They balanced out great, ride smooth, have a 60k warranty and look great. I also upgraded the front brakes to Powerstop Z36. Next up is replacing the stock front struts and spacer with Bilstiens. Christmas in July!

Looks good.

Can you tell any difference with the front brake upgrade?

I haven't driven it except for the bedding/break in period. I'll know today when I head to the lake with the boat.

I'll upgrade the rears when they need it. Already have Fox shocks in the rear.

Looks great. How difficult was it to remove the old rotors?

Just a few whacks with a rubber mallet.

Off-topic, but man I love that STX-style 6 bar grille. If there is one mod I'm chomping at the bit to do, it's replacing the C-Clamp grille on my FX4 with one of those.

Just a little update on the brakes now that I have somenseat time with them. Under normal driving conditions I cannot tell any difference but they come alive when you get on the pedal a little heavier. Under hard braking they bite s lot harder whether towing or not. I am very pleased.
