Merry X'mas

[galanw]

received bunch of presents from Stillen today.

f/r brake pads and linesintakespring kit

struct/sway bars

since it's time for service... so i got mobil extend performance engine oil and DOT4 brake fluid from autozone

strut bar out the box in the shop ...

will take the car back from shop maybe tomorrow (if i get out of work on time) if not, saturday morning.

now my wallet hurts

this is the car before install:

this is the car after install:



the feel. brake is more responsive w/ the lines installed. the pads though, i think i needa break those in before getting a harder stopping force.i haven't had a chance to check the cornering yet. probably give that a try tonight or tomorrow.

gonna debage tomorrow since the weather is nice out.

I am so jealous right now! and yes I am sure the wallet hurts quiet a bit now. However I'm sure once everything is on it will be worth it

yea it will so wat did you drop in all w/ the install bc i c ur goin to a shop............if u dont mind me asking

[galanw]

nope, i don't mind......it's roughly 1300.stillen gave me good deals w/ a "group buy".... that's about mid 900.the shop does it for about 400.

it's 7 parts in total. and the shop does my engine oil and tires rotation at the same time.

wow thats not bad at all def worth it......tell us how the brakes are if you feel a diff bc wen i replace them i wanna do this

[galanw]

hahaha....santa is IRS......got quite a lot refund this year..... that's why Stillen has the "tax return discount" hahahah

yea...def. will post pic of new installation and see how it feels after ....

can't wait to get my car back......i went back to the shop 3 hrs later......and they already got the strut bar, sway bar, and spring kit on.......

only thing i'm worrying now is the tires/rims may not fit w/ the car lowered.since i have the G37 base model rims on....and the tire size is a little thicker than suggested on tirerack.......hope things turn out good.

[PHENOMenalVinyl]

yea you should be fine with it ....n dont forget the pics

[galanw]

pics updated.
