Normally they charge 2 hours plus shop supplies. I got a deal plus had a $50 off so significantly less. Minnetonka did the work.

NoMoreVW · 05-09-2024, 09:02 PM

So normally $520? Sheesh.

Did you go with 1500 or 2000, and how do they compare to the stock pads in terms of initial bite?

Makes sense. Forgot that we don't experience the same seasons. LOL

It's just a pleasure drive car for me. Has not seen rain or snow yet. Heck, my Mustang I had for almost 2.5 years never saw a snowflake or raindrop. 🤣

The 1500 mainly because it's street driven only and I wanted the low dust as the OEM pads were driving me crazy with these hard to clean wheels . I see no difference in the manner I drive between the OEM and 1500s. As for dust, have a 150 mile car cruise this Saturday so it'll give me a good idea as to how they compare.

Yeah, plus shop supplies and cost of fasteners. I did get a nice deal though.

Nice! That's definitely a difference maker. I'm daily driving this thing all over the place. I put over 2,400 miles so far, and it's been two months. I guess it's not egregious, but not low either.

Not complaining!

What percentage tint did you go with?

20%. I did not touch the windshield so outside with the sun coming in through the windshield reflecting off the light cognac interior it won't appear quite as dark as if the interior was black.

Shaved the louvers in the wheels liners with a super sharp chisel. No more rubbing!

Now as ready as I am going to get for my first G87 autocross day.

Digitalprty · 05-11-2024, 06:31 PM

Installed all the Zunsport grills (including for the oil cooler underneath). Also installed ISweep IS1500 pads in front. Getting confirmation if the rear pads need shims or not before installing.
Edit: rear pads installed

AZG87 · 05-11-2024, 07:33 PM

Got the 3-piece carbon caps with ZB outer ring added to the SLAs.

Hard to tell, is it carbon or black?

Once you ride the ISweep for a bit, let us know your impressions under the ISWeep thread. There are many of us getting ready to swap but undicided between 1500 and 2000.

Evolution Racewerks mid pipe. Review and installation guide coming soon.

Mr. Hankey · 05-12-2024, 06:54 PM

Installed the Zunsport Oil cooler protector:

I also installed the IND Painted Center Bumper Trim (V1) and made my own radiator mesh while at it:
