How long did your brakes last and what kind did you use, and you do any hard braking? The only hard braking i do is just normal stuff like when the light hits red at the wrong time or when some slow ass idiot in front of me brakes so fast and hard way before getting to the light or for no reason at all.

I guess the tires should not bother me at all then, also how much are those shift kits and are they easy to put on? Mind you i only have regular tools like a few wrenches, pliers etc, no jack or anything but soon i will. Hopefully
