I never really considered any other rotors after I saw the Brembos and was hooked. I'm thinking about adding the Tein Comfort Sport Coilover Kit, but it really depends whether I need to salvage the handling after increasing the tire size or not. Do you feel your handling and ride are better, worse, or the same as before the tire increase? Please describe. Any pictures?

Thanks,

David

Hello All,

I have a 2001 GS 300 with about 60K miles. I have upgraded to the Brembo Sport Drilled rotors all around, as well as stainless steel break lines, and Akebono Pro-Act Ceramic Pads. Unfortunately, I am in major need of some new kicks for my car (previous owner a victim of severe curb rash). I have read a lot about the upgrades many have done on this forum, and think I want to go with no larger than 18 inch wheels and tires. I really like the HRE 591R wheels.. I am really looking for suggestions on the wheel width more than anything. I am all about the performance and handling of the car, and want more rubber on the road without the tires looking wider than the body of the car if you know what I mean. Thanks for the help. (If it matters, I'm currently running the stock 16 in wheels with Michelin Primacy MXV4 215/60R16 95V

are any of these still available for a 2001 GS300? if so, what would the price be?

Thanks,

I went with the michellin pilot exalto's from costco... great tire... about $130 a tire, then also got $60 back on total purchase. One year and 40k later the tires are still great, rotated every 7k, but I'll probably be replacing them soon. Ride quality, noise, tire wear and handling are all performing well above average in my humble opinion.

Hello. I have a 2001 GS 300 with about 74K miles. I run the full BMW synthetic oil and change it every 4,500 miles. It does amazing things as my car's blood. For tires, I like ran the Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus for about 45K and just recently replaced with the upgraded model Michelin Primacy MX4V (now with 60K Mile Warranty). I love the Michelin tires. They are quiet, comfortably smooth riding, unquestionably reliable at high speeds or in rain, and immediately make you feel in complete control. I push my Lexus hard and would recommend them to anyone pushing the handling to around 135/140 mph.

Hope you guys are enjoying your cars.
