What are my options with upgrading to larger brakes on the celly? Are there any other cars that have interchangeable rotors/spindles that are larger? Also, is there anywhere that I can buy a GT4 front suspension in the US? I have a Gen III 3sgte, and eventually plan on going AWD once I find the trans..then i'll rip up the floor panels and change the gas tank out and put all of the parts necessary on it to make it AWD. I just need to know who can bring in JDM parts. I've been talking to Joel at Toysport in Cali, and every once in a while he has someone go to Japan and bring back parts (that's how I got my head gasket), but is there anyone that orders those parts directly from Japan? Thanks in advance for the help guys!

I expect stuff like that with a JDM install..boots will rip, there are places online that sell only cv boots. but if you aren't comfortable going with that one then that's cool. Do you have a well lit garage area to do this? What about tools? I have an engine lift that I can bring if you need it. -------------------- -Jay
