This page is dedicated to my car's wheels, suspension and braking upgrades.
I haven't focused on this area until recently. I have had the Technafit stainless steel braided brake lines on for about 3 years now. Since the end of October '07 I have Power Slot rotors and Axxis brake pads on both the front and rear.
I have Energy Suspension motor mount inserts, and my rear motor mount is solid steel. To top it off is the "$4 wheel hop aid" mod. I get pretty no more wheel hop in my car, just tire spin now.
Finally, in the trunk is a 4 point brace made by specless on myspecv.com.
Here is a picture of the upgraded brake lines
I painted all my calipers red using Duplicolor's kit in February '06. I can't say I did the best job, but it added a little bit of color to my car.
Power Slot front and rear rotors, and Axxis front brake pads before they were installed.
Brakes freshly installed. Interestingly to note, PowerSlot rotors are technically Brembos... as they're Brembo blanks.
I won the cardomain "Best Updated Ride Page" this past winter, and got a Eibach Anti-Roll kit as my prize!
And here it is installed!
I have gunmetal Exel F-1 wheels with Toyo tires for the street. I also have two of the same rims with BFGoodrich street tires that just sit around.
For track use I just purchased 15" Team Dynamics Pro Race 1 wheels which I am using with BFGoodrich gForce T/Adrag radials in 225/50/15 when the track opens back up.
October 08: calipers are now silver!!
