yes sir,brembo rotors,hawk pads,and steel braided lines.....i didnt feel like going 5 lug and getting a crazy brake kit this setup will do just fine,i also put some HID's in,the car is still not tuned or painted i plan on taking it to the shop in about or week or so to get tuned i kind of got lazy for a while but now i am back on track trying to get this thing done

i have no room to tell you how to do anything, since you are the master of perfection, but why didnt you upgrade to q45 brakes? the stock calipers suck and with q45s you could still be 4 lug

hey olym, so when you got the car..... how were the brake/clutch lines set up? what adjustments did you have to do?

im assuming these lines were already installed, but still you hid them behind the engine or something

any pics would be appreciatedthanks!

those wheels are nice man
the setup on the brake/clutch lines were stock how they run on the fire wall, but i took everything out and went and bought all new lines and hide them,and if any one is wondering the wheels are Weds Kranze Cerberus 4x114.3 18x9.5 +19 / 18x11 +6,i also put my boost gauge in

well that just shows your still human. lol seriously i woudl recommend upgrading to the q45s. i even bought everything new and it was pretty cheap and a huge difference. brake pads were like $25, rotors were like $45, and the calipers were like $150. i hated my stock calipers

You've gotta fill that with a double din Olym. Whats up man? Did you ever get to take it to that one track day you told me about?

And I'm with White Comet too, Q45 make a big difference, and a cheap upgarde if you don't want to do Z32 Big Brake.
