Oh yea I forgot to add I spotted an acura TSX the other day...It was blue lowered and looked like it was on Volks. I did not get a good view but I was on Legacy turning onto Alma. Looked pretty clean the dude was stuck at the light going west on Legacy.

It would be nice to have a machine but I can strip down the manifold and do it on my own time.
well you have fun with all that

5 lugs, 2 bolts and voila, rotors replaced. OK, maybe the 2 phillips are in there, but rotors are about a 15 minute job all around. Ethan is absolutely the right guy when it comes to mechanical on the TL.

Speaking of repainting...what color would look good with my new black rims? I was thinking black or blue? If you end up painting yours, do you think we can paint my stockies?

^^ Sounds like me. I had severe fade after doing my 1000 mile cruise in 3 days through the hill country after a long fast stop. Had my back brakes smoking. Now my brakes are a bit mushy, and not as responsive. I need to bleed my brakes, and sand the pads down to get rid of the glaze, just too lazy to do it!

If you want you can have my stock Brembo front rotors if you can somehow make them fit on your 2g. I already cut them down on my buddies brake lathe so they should be good.

yeah, that would be nice . . . oh, and maybe one part maybe in order as well.

Now if I can just get eBay to fix my account I can get the axles ordered and I'll be race ready.
