Meanwhile 2IS drivers have even done Tail of the Dragon on stock 2IS TSIB brakes without any fade.

Using the paddles to control top gearing helps quite a bit in mountain type driving, one of the few times the paddles are really useful.

Yeah Brake Dust is acceptable, make a scene if they deny you

Or speak with the serv manager, if you dont qualify for the TSIB, you

you might get goodwill.

Premature Wear TSIB is for Es350 rear pads...
