How about a big brake kit to fill up behind those 20's..A nice set of rotora, stop tech, or brembos....it would also get you ready for the your FI in the future...

Hey Rick, I'm with johnee78..... I would seriously look into getting a good Big Brake Kit. With 3K, you can get a nice 6pot setup, or do a front and rear setup with additional funds. Not only do they look good, but they also serve a purpose... With all the additional weight your car is rolling around on, that would be my next mod. Good luck bro.....

I agree. You have the standard bolt-on "power" pieces: intake/exhaust, pretty much all the suspension pieces, ICE, wheels, and body kit. I did not see a roof spoiler but that's a personal thing. Since the car is already in the shop for painting, I assume you did not want one. There are plenty of "little touches" parts but the BBK will complete the major upgrades.

For 3k, you can do the StopTech 355s with upgraded (stock replacement) rears to match. There is also the Rotora 6-pot fronts but I can't recall the pricing on that. the kit is still very new. You'll have to spend more if you want APs or Brembos.

i wouldnt mind brakes.. BUT i think they are overpriced.. plus i hate the look of front big brakes and rear UPGRADED rotors.. never looks remotely the same...
ps.. the car goes into the paint/stereo shop on friday/saturday.... i havent got a roof spoiler because i dont see a purpose BUT if i find one cheap ill buy it.. just ot have it...
other than brakes what you guys think?
not that i am ruling out brakes just want to see what else is out on the table. thanks
