Curious why you bought a radiator? Was yours bad? I thought our stockers were good for just about anything under the sun. Even when I am getting on the accelerator I never see more than 180ish temps.
because i got it for a good deal to be honest. i mean the only thing it will help with, well what ive noticed is it cools down so much faster. still gonna be relatively the same temps but it just cools down a lot faster. and like he said, will last a lot longer than the stock ones and their stupid plastic tanks -___- haha. but yea, ahhhh deployment money. about to go do the shifter now

Yeah, just wondering since I want to eventually do brake pads for my SC discs all the way around. My white wheels pick up everything on the road. But they are easy enough to clean, just a little wiping every so often they look good again. Any wheel requires cleaning if you think about water spots, brake dust, etc.

Brembos do not leave any dust, they are calipers.

The OEM pads for them are very very dusty.

My Brembo's always leave that much brake dust after about 3 weeks to a month, I can't stand it. Its a mess to clean the wheels off but it comes off pretty easy with light rubbing. I usually have road tar and things that get stuck to the wheels that are more of a pain to get off. I am still using the factory pads, I'm on my second set and the dust is the same.

I was told to try using Rejex on my wheels which I have not yet got to do. If it can keep carbon soot off a jet no reason it should not keep my wheels or car clean.

They Stop amazingly though which is what is more important to me.

I wax the wheels every other week. They clean easily. I spend more time cleaning off road cone marks than brake dust.

Right, technically speaking! I agree I take that back my pads for my Brembo's leave a lot of dust lol. If my Brembo's did the braking, the caliper pistons would be squeezing the rotor (If that was possible) and leaving metal dust.

Why are you running into road cones? Thought those were supposed to be used guide you though lanes and mark unwanted areas not to be hit lol. Are you a rebel?

Aha... I figured it was something like that. Just seems like it would be funny to knock them out driving down the hwy. 2 in the morning road construction I did a few weaves once lol but I'm too afraid of messing something up hitting one of them or anything else for that matter.
