    ya i've actually been wondering lately if i wanna get any bigger than my 31's, my VX is still very quick and has great handling with just 2" lift and 31's
    yeah...this is how I'm feeling w/ my 32's...still pretty quick (SC'd) and handling is still there (Orion told me so!) w/ 2" lift. Nice that I can still dodge deer without feeling like a camper truck.

    I'm with JollyRoger on this one. I've had my drilled and slotted rotors for over a year now (with stock pads) and have not had a problem with them. I don't drive the VX hard enough to make the rotors do what they where designed for, so they are more of a cosmetic treatment than a functional one. You would have to race the VX and do some seriously hard braking (continuously) to put drilled and slotted rotors to the test.

    All this time I didn't think we could get Brembo rotors for the VX, I thought R1 was the clear winner:

    Brembo 25457 - fronts
    Brembo 25496 - rears

    Fronts: http://www.amazon.com/Brembo-25457-F...tive&carId=001

    Rears: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BZKHEI
