nicest Gen V I've seen so far, would be happy to be driving around in that.
Ever thought of painting or wrapping the chrome door trim surrounds?
Could be good for a cheap subtle change!

I'll be ordering some goodridge braided lines shortly

SYM wrote:Thanks Jeff - are the sti master brake cylinders are a simple "plug n play?" ie. Swap out the old, and put in the new? Or some modifications/adapters required? I've seen a few sti master brake cylinders on ebay for 89-100 ish.

SYM wrote:It sounds like the rears upgrade takes a bit more planning and research though - I've been reading a few threads - is it correct to assume I need new handbrake shoes if I upgrade my rear rotors and calipers? If so, I can source these from brake specialists/phat?

You can only use '08 rears Simon, different mounting points so adapters dont exist as such to put earlier model rear brembo calipers on.
Painting your oem rears black?
