Man she handles like a dream. Going to get the wheel alingment later on today. I guess my only thing problem is that it looks like the back sits a tad lower then the fron but hey, looks good no matter what.

and I know fellas
:wopics: so when I get a camera and after she is washed I will take some pics and post up. This is going to be funny when I go back to school and I have to pack my car up. I know my wheels are going to be tucked like I wouldn't believe

One other thing. What is the proper break in for breaks. because they feel kinda musshy. I did the 35 mph stop and few times let it cool off then drove the car around like regular. I think the pads and rotors have a glaze on them. My mechanis wasn't able to break them in because I just pulled up to the shop and he was doing a timing belt on someone else car. I am going to stop back by him though and have him check it out.

you should break the brakes in for atleast 300-500 miles that allows the pads to seat to the rotors just do nice and easy stop try not to heat the rotors up to much

Damn. So that's why my pads are feeling so musshy now. I thought maybe something was lose. Looks like I am going to have to take it real easy then and stay under 65. I am going down to school on Saturday with a fully loaded car so hopefully I won't have to slam on brakes any. When I do break they they ****in stop though. Once I started to break them in they started to turn purple I guess form being heated up some. My mechanic said that it's the glaze coming off from both the rotors and the pad and their starting to settle.
