How fun! I wish I could do something like that. Love the ride, so fresh and so clean-clean!
Did u have the gauges installed by a shop or did u do it yourself? If you paid for it, how much did it run you?

Both me and SCG did the gauges (not sure if you're talking about the cluster or the triple pillar)....neither were TOO hard by any means....the pillar gauges were soooo time consuming though!

Yup, done at Pit Crew.....they took sooooooooooo long just to get started on the whole thing. I think the car sat in their garage for like almost 2 months before they even removed a screw...

IN HOC Delpheezie!!!

The Axis rims cost $300 each and the Toyos cost 170 each...

The swap was supposed to be a straight swap but we had to fabricate a driver and front side engine mount. Wiring was also kinda complicated...

Gauges...well Seedster answered that one...

Thanks again guys...

Look for the car again in Modified Magazine in a few months...

Default your current brake setup

I was wondering if upgrading to stock size Brembo rotors and AEM pads made any performance improvements?

Default your suspension

Did those suspension upgrades make a huge improvement? Because I'm looking to do a similar setup. And what kind of camber kit are u using?

The Brembo rotors/AEM pads are a pretty decent setup over the stock setup. They are more sharp and the bite on the stopping process is increased a good amount. Brake dust isn't that bad either...I had Axxis Metal Master pads and those generated a lot of brake dust but they stopped pretty well also...

As far as my suspension setup...well the sway bars really really helped out a lot...especially the rear sway...a lot of people only get the rear sway but since I bought the set, I put on the front sway a couple weeks after playing around with the rear...the sway bars really keep the car much more stable through hard/sharp turns and for the price, they are definitely worth it. The springs/shocks setup I have I love...HR springs are sweet and the Tokicos hold up pretty well with daily driving...

All in all, the suspension setup I have allows me to pretty much take on a good amount of stress through turns, etc. and I have totally happy with the MUCH increased performance over the stock suspension...

Good luck!
