I finally got all my parts in and upgraded my brake rotors and pads on my GS. I got all 4 rotors from iRotors. They are slotted, crossdrilled and zink coated. They are Brembo blanks and are drilled/slotted by iRotors. They have Brembo emblem on the side of the rotors as shown on the pics. They look great and quality made. I decided to paint the hubs and calipers with black high tempt paint (3 coats) to give it a clean look. I saw few members on here with same look and decided to do the same. I ordered Lexus decal stickers in white from a member on here, to complete the look of the calipers. I think it came out great for the money I spent, and the look achieved. Do not laugh at the wheel caps that are still gold plated. I am working on getting them painted chrome when I will repaint my wheels due to curbrash. It took me about 5 hours to do all this, thanks to my friend mechanic that only charged me $100. I helped him out on this job and brough a case of beer to make this process more fun. lol. He also swapped my sway bar bushings and steering rack bushings to Daizen. Both were great mods and felt noticable difference in cornering and steering feel. Steering feel is still not 100%. I think I have something loose in the column itself, somewhere close to the steering wheel, since I still get loose, disconnected feel in the steering wheel, when I go over very rough brick pavement 5-10mph, any ideas?

I am having problems posting pics!!! I will try later, I guess the gallery upload problem still not fixed, I had same problem about 1 month ago.
