So once the car gets back on the road; I'm going to start working on it from the ground up; starting with suspension/brakes.
I'd like to know; Brakes: (a) can ebay be trusted for crossdrilled rotors? What type of coating should I be looking for (anti-rust, etc.)?? Can I coat them myself and if so, what do I need? (b) What pad upgrade would be best with crossdrilled rotors? I'm looking for durability, quality, etc. © What is the best place to order from for rotors/pads combos? (d) Has anyone painted their calipers? If so, how hard was it to do? Did you take them off before painting, or just mask off the rotors, etc.?? Suspension: (a) I'd like to go with Tokico Blues and TRD springs; but what are some other suggestions for the best height : ride ratio? Any help is really appreciated. Thanks 6GC.net!! -------------------- |
