Happy As A Clam
As some of you that read the "Look What I Got Today" thread may have noticed I have been purchasing a good bit of parts recently. Some of you may also know that although I post often I rarely post pictures or talk about new items that I have acquired. My car has been down for four weeks while I have been away, oedering more parts and making time to put these parts on. These upgrades includ the following: powdercoated calipers with Stoptech stainless lines, EBC Redstuff pads, and DBA slotted rotors at all four corners, I also added a Greddy Exhaust which sounds great, a set of F-Sport sway bars which make the car handle much better, and finally an Invidia Midpipe which I have not been able get installed yet. I really don't want to deal with the rusty bolts so I may wait until I get the PPE Headers next month. I could not be more satisfied with these parts they are amazing compared to the stock ones they replaced. If anyone has any questions on the parts themselves or the installation please feel free to ask.
I am next working on new wheels and air suspension over custom Apexi coilovers along with some body work that will be done in June while I am away on my honeymoon.

I got it from Gotoracing which is a CL vendor for much less than I expected. Please pm him for a price his name is Kris and he provides the best customer service I have ever received. He got me my exhaust next day and he had it shipped from Wisconsin to Pittsburgh and I didn't pay anything extra.

Did these replace different sway bars or are these the first? I'm considering doing the same to constrain the cabin roll a bit. Some say that it won't make that much of a difference and some, such as yourself, are pleased with the results.
Thanks

Here are some of the pictures of the new parts.

New slotted DBA Rotors: you cant really see the EBC Redstuff Pads or the Stoptech Stainless lines but they are there
Here are the pictures of the pads and lines
The calipers were powdercoated and freshly rebuilt by a fellow member and good friend screenname: Juangado. He has been a great help and more than patient in helping me with this build. He is also working on a complete custom suspension arm setup for me as we speak. When I say complete I mean complete.
The sway bars which are obviously F-Sport - my favorite mod so far.
I do not have my own picture but I got this off of a fellow member and it is well worth the money.
I am working on a few other things now. First new purchase will hopefully be a complete ISF interior, which seems as though it is a 100% go. From there I have to get the mid pipe on and I will do the PPE headers at the same time. In addition to these addons I have some body mods to do also. They include the following. Repaint of the Seibon front lip I already have. Painting the GFX rear and sides along with a Wald Rep Spoiler which will be molded to the trunk lid.
From there I will be going with Universal Air Suspension over my Apexi Custom Coilover setup and I will be replacing my Volk GT-Cs with some new wheels. I am interested in selling the Volks if anyone is interested. I can take pics and send them to you. I will be posting them shortly in the classifieds along with my IS300 JDM Rear Bumper with Authentic Wald Rear Lip.
