Had a busy day of installs at Taylor's yesterday. Started at 10, mixed with an hour of me running around trying to find nuts that fit my wheels, we finished at 7. We got my HKS Hipermax III coilovers installed and height set, and got the rear sway and AVO mounts on. On Tuesday i have the front sway bar, Front WRX 4 pots and HIDs going in followed by lots of pictures :D

You are a god among men Mark, but i have to disagree. I went for a fairly hard drive after work tonight, and they have only slightly less bite and force as my old GT brakes did. It might just be me though. Either way, i didn't at any point on the run that i was braking dangerously. And for this car, looks is 80% what I'm after. I think that you'll have to agree with me that the GT brakes are ugly :lol:

Pics to come tomorrow

WRX 4 pots went on yesterday. Big thanks to Taylor for installing all my crap. Braking feels good, slightly less force than the old GT calipers but they look much better :D
So far installed is:

Whiteline 22mm rear sway bar
AVO HD mounts
Whiteline 20mm front sway bar
HKS Hipermax III coilovers
WRX 4 pots painted Chrysler Hemi orange
Endless SSY pads
RDA slotted and dimpled rotors
Tenzo Cuzco 18x8painted white

Car is filthy, ignore that :lol:

Still to come is HID lights on the fogs and headlights, and black stickers for the brakes

Very happy with how the car handles now. Taylor has already started spending my money on other bits though :lol:

Completely misread his comment. I thought he said they provide a lot less clamping force. The joys of 1am
