What have you done to your P5 today?

Kumho Exsta AST's or Yokohama ADVAN Neova. Getting a set for my birfday, wife just told me....I just hope she doesnt let me down :(

Not to detract from Chris' cool photos, going back to my new shifter...

I noticed three things: Shifts smoother due to increased mass of shift knob, throws shorter due to reduced shift rod height, and finally, gear whine is now audible particularly in 5th. Did I torque the linkage under the car too hard?

I have the same thing with the noise. It seems to lessen over time...did you do new bushings as well?

Just get pads.. the stock brakes are good. Maybe for high speed road course (like if you were doing grand-am series racing or similar) bigger brakes would be a necessity.

What pads/rotors are you using right now? I've never seen smoke from my stock-size brakes.

I had smoke from my right front all the way back to the rear of my car, this weekend on a canyon run. I think either brake pads and/or rotor time! At the end of the run I had NO brakes whatsoever!!!
