SUSPENSION AND BRAKES
Summer is nearly over, but I finally got my suspension and brakes done. I spent my time and realy looked for the components that I wanted for my car.

The first piece of the puzzle that I got this summer was my PowerSlot Slotted Rotors. These rotors would hold up much better during Autocross events. I paired the slotted rotors with street performance brake pads, the Hawk HPS pads from GSpec Racing.

For the suspension I decided to sell my Progress Springs when I found a great deal on a used full racing set up. Someone on my car forum was selling the perfect set up for my street and autox car. The set up is now on my car and consists of Koni Yellow Adjustable Struts mounted with Eibach Sportline springs.

The set up lowers my car by 2 inches, and will give me a lot better cornering and steering response. The ride in the city will be a little stiff, but it will be worth it on the track.

The new brake set up will stand up to the high heat of Autocrossing the car, the factory brakes did not hold up very well. So now I have the best of both worlds... plus the new pads won't get my rims as dirty!

I also did a few other upgrades this summer. I bought headlights from an SER (sports model), installed fog lights, and made a custom grill for the front. The car is really starting to come together now. But as you know... I am not done yet...
