Looks good man. I am looking at some stoptech drilled rotors. I installed the sts this past weekend. Reverse is easier.

if you go drilled, make sure the rotors are high quality and not some oem rotors that they drilled holes into.... or you may end up with a nasty surprise.

the rotors were a pain in the *** to remove. I had to drill out the two screws from both front rotors, then beat the living **** out of the oem rotors with a hammer and a block of wood before they came off.

All these people getting Turbo's or SC's are making me want one. My wife won't let me at least not while the car is still under warranty.

heh... I don't. It's the first thing I'm going to change -- but I have to wait till the 19" tires wear out first. I'm going back down to 18" rims, but doing 9.0 or 9.5 wide. I'm currently 8.0 wide and can overpower the rubber at 5,000 rpm.

Endless Rotaries is a forum vendor. He's autornd on AIM, hit him up - I got a nice deal for the set. Took 2 or 3 days to receive them.

In my neighborhood or nearby? Good thing I park in the garage...

PM me when you're in the area... I haven't been driving the last few days - love bugs are coming out, and now there's friggin' smoke and ash all over the place.

I had the CF hood on the car for a while, it's currently not installed because I'm bringing the car in for some work.
