im looking at brake kits... but the set i like has drilled rotors.

thought abt the brembo gt BBK? cheaper than endless and can choose slotted rotors.

[plAythiNG]

not spending that much on brakes tbh... Wilwood is a very good bang for buck... like i siad, only worried about the drilled rotor.

LoL....go the Mugen BBK..i thought about it..but just wasn't bang for buck lol....

[plAythiNG]

for that much, i be buyign the Brembo GT.

im gonan go track in next 2-3 weeks, awaiitng for my brake parts to come in frmo jdmyard, waiting for my spacers too, not relaly caring about the spacer,s but up frnot, im gonna run extendeed studs, so I wanna get them put in when my rotors are put in. save time and money on labour, as my car is never out.

swapped my front selbys sway bar for a ep3 bar with tk38. And for all those guys bagging me out for my ride height he can vouch for me when i say my driveway is steep! (he had to jump start my car )..anyways back to the bar..i have a lot more header clearance now so no scraping issues on an incline. My battery also seems to be dying (cheapest place to get an exide??)..my ecu and alarm prob accelerated its death as well...my wheels should be here next week with my tires soon to follow!...now gotta find time to get everything fixed...im wondering if i still need to roll my front and rear guards since i will be running a 235 at near stock height?

[crashprash]

In anticipation of my new wheels and tyres which should be here this week, i am thinking abt what i need to do in order to get them fitted...

i was thinking take wheels, tires and camber kit and get it fitted,balanced and aligned (only use the camber kit if need be) and then check for scrubbing at the workshop, if any scrubbing put stockies back on, drive home and get gaurds rolled and then just swap the rims since the alignment etc has already been done...good/bad idea?

this way i dont have to uneccesarily install the camber kit and roll guards

[plAythiNG]

Why dont u get guards rolled first, have everyting installed and algined.... jsut get a n oddessy lgiht weight battery!
