Yes do that Steven. MPS are fine for normal cruising as long as you stay below 5psi of boost (I know its hard to do) in the first 3 gears. Anything over 7psi they are just a smoke show but they work extremely well when you get caught in the rain and you feel lot safer. Also, (as you know) when you are not hooking you are not breaking anything

I dreamt about a white coupe with SP 500s and PP Centers last night. Since you are a photochop guru, can you make my dream come true?

I got lucky and one was parked just outside (just like my dream) so I took a pic

Nouman I'm guessing you have the CCW Big Street package. In tha case you rears are 11.5" not 12", 12s stick out w/o mini-tubbing. This is why I specifically ordered 11" rear and 9.5" fronts as they're dead even w/ the body panels.
