Default 20 Year Import Racer, 3 Month S550 Owner

From Lake Worth, Florida--purchased a 2016 S550, my first RWD car in 20 years, and am loving it! Somehow, the car had the PP wheels and Brembo brakes on the front...but was sold to me as a fastback for 32k with my X plan. I have already gone under the car and added the braces up front and in back, and added the aluminum anti hop plates--thanks, Steeda! I am looking at getting new wheels and tires next, and then finishing the handling mods with new springs and F/R anti sway bars--the bottom of the car will look just as good as the top.

I joined a couple of other forums and got zero responses to my questions; hopefully this place is a bit more active!

If that is a GT or pretty much all I think, they all have Brembo brakes on the front. If your car is a base GT with performance pack (15" front rotors) then you are wasting your money with all the suspension mods IMO as it has the performance suspension already.

I did not get the better stereo or the fancy switches in the dash. So maybe the car was ordered special and then the guy didn't take delivery? Not sure.
