Thanks man, can't wait to see all the parts installed on the car it will look amazing!

Out of curiosity how much did you set for the dampers on the coilovers for the fronts/rears on your car?

Build quality seems pretty good, fairly heavy rotors. I'll be bedding them in after they're installed and I'll give some input on how they perform compared against stock rotors

There are a lot of nice rotors available to those living in the States which are very cost efficient in terms of looks and performance.
I get pretty jealous because they're usually cheaper than the prices I have to pay to get stuff here in Canada

I just did stoptech 14" 4 piston all around. Not a budget friendly brake setup but sure looks good behind 19s. I have ls400 fronts on my 93 and they brake very well and I only paid $300 for new rotors, pads, calipers.

Much better than stock GS. They look better too. All my stock GS brakes are warped bad and I've had a lot of hard stops from 130+ on my ls400 set and no warping yet.

I'll probably be picking up a couple LS400 calipers and buy the rotors somewhere online once I get a few performance mods in the car down the line, I should have looked into the LS400 brake conversion before buying my new rotors I totally forgot about them silly me
