... your car is lowered and you have spacers to push them out. I attempted my front Brembo + rear pad swap today but the previous tire shop must have had an air ratchet made for aircraft carrier construction. I'll do the fronts tomorrow now that another shop was able to loosen them for me. I ended up destroying a 22mm impact socket with my electric impact wrench.

Just a quick question not actually related to the tires; what's with the SS badges? I ask because I've spotted a black G8 out here in California with the same SS badges and a carbon fiber hood but I've never heard of any SS model Pontiac or G8. Is this something you added and if so, why? I'm not hating on it, just curious.

It is a Chevy model in the middle east and an SSV in a few markets.

In Australia, the G8 GT trim that we have is the Commodore VE SS.
