I replaced mine with Hankook Ventus HRII's, which have performed quite well for the price (I got 18"s for about 110 each). Definitely more grip off the line than the OEM Michelin's and P6's (I've driven both).

We choose to wrap the wheels in Nexen N3000 235/35/19. To be honest they were the cheapest Tires I could find. Another review will come after Jen racks a couple of miles on them.
I bought some Yokohama YK520s. As for performance they drive well and don't seem to squeal as much when they spin. The handling is very good and the ride is about the same as the Michelins. They road noise is also similar. They handle wet real well
My 09 Lux only has about 6000 miles but when I bought it I expected to replace the OE tires right away. I had done my homework and came up with the Dunlop SP Sport Signature as the best bet, at a good price too.
The thermostat I pulled out was probably original, but wasn't stuck. After replacing the timing belt and thermostat, I filled the car back up with coolant and started it up. It did come up to operating temperature quicker
I have Sdrives on my car, and love them. They suck in the snow, but are great in the wet and dry.
new VR strut mounts and I even used the MKII caps. havent had any problems.

Brake pads were replaced abt 2,000 miles ago, and the rotors; apparently can last till i have to replace the pads again.
are these the girly-girling calipers? the ones with a brake pad the size of a saltine cracker? also known as cracker-pads? if so, throw them in the garbage and set the garbage can on fire.
