CORRECTION:

L-sportline front and grill, RMM sides, JDM Rear, SRT HFI/ECU and SRT TC, TRD STB/LCB/Sways, Eibach and soon to come Bilsteins (Don't worry Dave, they will come, just taking a bit longer to get to you )

In summary: Awesome blend of performance and looks! Yeah!!!

You guys know my car better than me! After my Bilsteins are on, I'll be a happy camper! Maybe a brake upgrade next, any suggestion? After reading the debates between Brembo or AP on this site, now I'm really confused.

David,

I say if you are not planning to track the car, just go with the Supra brakes - MORE than enough for street applications. That's what I am planning to do. Even now, just better brake pads and SS lines will do a great job! If an SC kit ever becomes available, then I am going to need the Supra brake upgrade for sure!

Hi Brent:

Keep me informed on what and when you're going to do it. I think the steel brake lines are a no-brainer. Definitely going to try that. Did the TRD brake pads help you much? I thought about the Supra brakes; are they one inch bigger? I don't think they are cross drilled; I did want that look.

Let me know what you find out.

Thanks,

David

Went 35% all around (5) windows. Don't like different tints on the driver/passenger vs. rear passenger; looks better even (IMO).
