This morning coming back from the gym I had to jam on the brakes and steer around a deer on wet roads...the car responded and handled like a champ .... I can't complain about that  :thumb:

Yeah, you know, I always thought my MKS brakes were fair at best, but it's true, when I need to stop quickly, I do.  I am still going to upgrade when its time to replace.   With other cars, I don't wait until its time, I just upgrade because the OEM brakes are so bad - with the MKS, they are, well, adequate.

Very happy you missed it.  My old man hit a deer three separate times!  I've been lucky enough to near miss a few myself.

That deer was a seriously slow learner!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
