Who pays $250 for rotors? I paid $120 for the whole set of Brembo blanks.

It's header. :slap:

But yeah, I/H/E isn't cheap even though it should be considering how minimal the gains are from it.

it's a good idea to check what it's lowered on, my friend bought a car lowered on eibach sportline on stock strut. the shocks were bottoming out and also he didn't get a camber kit (previous owner). He had too much camber and the inner part of the tire wore down so much it blew while hes was going 40mph.

Costed about $1200 for the body work because the tire threads just ripped his body apart + cost for new rim, 2 tires.

Just letting you know so you don't make the same mistake.

Maybe he likes 4 doors. Hes going for a sleeper look and that helps with it.

Mostly it makes more noise. You will notice some top end gains mostly with minor losses in low end. It allows the exhaust gasses to flow better at high RPMs, thus making more power.
