    I went to 17s in SCS wheels simply because of this when I decided to go to 35s. Was a hefty bill, but worth it with big tires.

    Definitely will let you know! I really liked ECGS but they're very expensive. I think it was around $3,400 front and rear, but the warranty is nice.

    Check My Sig.
    ECGS is not expensive in comparison to local places that I got quotes from. I priced out all options and ECGS was hands down the most cost effective and they offered the warranty. A lot of the expense is the cost of parts alone. This is not considering "bro discounts" though if you find someone who knows what they're doing and willing to do the work for less.

    If anything its just one more reason to get the real deal brakes! Def a welcome upgrade that even matches our BRO-hats!

    LOL, I got that hat because it matched the Kings. I swear I'm not usually that vain, but sometimes, things just seem right.
