np. tell us how u like the brakes. we changed u to motul 5.1 so the braking should feel a lot better even under heavy braking.

right now, its a love hate relationship with my brakes, i love how they stop, but i hate how heavy they are, its affecting the turning a bit. more specifically its affecting how the steering wheel isnt returning to center as fast as it use to...

everything else was good, toyota tranny fluid, performance coolant...

tell us if ur still having tranny issues... there's a few more tricks we can try to see if it fixes the issue.

thanks
braking felt more spot on
the transmission problem comes randomly (well not so random as theres a pattern) but there is actually a TSB at dealerships for flashing the ECU for the transmission to fix the bug
im not too concerned about it right now as it doesnt always happen just once in a while under specific circumstances

anyways to stay back on topic
ive been seeing a lot of new and old ES lately in the winter
and all the new ES look so much like the new LS...
