looks hot. but i hate how small our brake rotors are. you can kinda tell how fast a car is by the size of its brakes.

Lissa, there the first picture is kinda at eye level? Or are you meaning somthing different? (thanks guys for your opinions)
Rims are 18x8 (sport max racing) wrapped with Kelly's. Ya i know that they are just stock size, but my car isn't fast, (untill the motor swap) but just makes it look a little nicer then stock rotors. This post has been edited by celiracer: Apr 3, 2006 - 8:44 PM -------------------- |

U buy brembo replacements and then brembo cross drills them for you. They say brembo on the sides of the rotor.

Car looks hot, you need to paint that bumper and drop it and it'll be perfect. The red under the wheels looks good with the red car.

Awesome work dude, your car looks great now and after the kit it'll look even better especially with the 18" wheels. Those will really fill out and balance the look perfectly.
Are you going to paint it red again when you put the kit on? Also what do you think of the new brakes? -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
