Actually, I only rarely drive my vellfire. Most of the time was my driver. But even then, i can feel the inadequate brakes....both in terms of me actually driving and as a passenger

It is more a safety issue for the alphard and vellfire......... Just not enough stopping power..... And I already have RE050A on it....

Actually I think bridgestones are not as good as they used to be when they are still in F1. I remember back then, I have the turanza and it's still grippy.

Now I got Potenza and I feel my car want to let loose sometimes, or maybe I corner too fast Even the goodyear are more grippy on my old E60 compare to the Potenza I got now.

If I repaint my calipers, I am thinking orange.

But this will take a few days and I don't wanna wait without able to drive my car.

I thought about debaging for the clean look, but then I thought about people like mlai and just say nah...

haha, you are right. My car does look a little triad. So, I went for the silver calipers.

Just drive like a grandpa. My boss drives like a maniac with his van so he needs BBK.

i mean, the BBK doesn't matter if your tyres do not hold the road!

I didn't bother to look until my friend were commenting on the mods..... He feels those are kinda stands out.... In a bad way saying that the owner is probably all for show only......

The lettering collects dust.. this guy thinks like me

I will never use crap tires .. i felt the difference once and can ruin or make the car. had some goodyear 'sporty' tires was bumpy as hell, then tried goodyear 'comfort' tire and the car felt like it was on a slippery carpet all the time, then some modest dunlop DZ101 and perfect balance of comfort/control .. and dun bother trying anything else
my current combo P Nero / conti DW is matching all my expectations .. dun know if want to take the 'risk' to try PSS on front

I have silver as said above bro. Originally wanna disguise them from my wife but she already found out. Otherwise I would have gone for the yellow.

Jxnco has his custom painted blue in HK. Stock colors are black, silver, yellow or red.

Mixed tyres... I assume Pirellis in front and Conti at back. Why go for that setup?

Your silver looks quite good .. so many red and yellows around .. maybe if you want to keep it stealth, you can see the drilled rotors from any distance

Conti DW is very soft sidewall , good for comfort esp. for big rims
But too soft i prefer not to use on front, want something little harder, so can feel turn-in .. so choose P zero nero cuz only they have my weird size 225/45-19 (normal is 245/40-19)
It is noisier now in practice, but only in my carpark (no even other ones weird) and perfect for road .. because u know f10 susp is very well padded .. if you choose conti DW on stock 17s on front, i am afraid you will wonder if your wheels are still on, or you are driving on tofu

Unfortunately could not for safety reasons, rear pair must match .. but u could left-right front be different if you drive on fixed route, just dun go on the highway
