Need advice with my suspentionI just got nice 18's for my car and am going to lower my car and also need a brake job as well. I was wondering if i should go all out or just go cheap. My friend who owns a 94 supra and does all his work on his car is going to do the work with me.

1st option(all out)i am going to get Brembo (brake rotors)sports Disc kit for $230 each(2), also get Eibach Pro kit springs for $200,

2nd option(cheaper)get stock brake pads for like $100, and also get the Eibach Prokit springs for $200, and also get caliper paint so it looks good for like $30

with the brembo is all done and itll last me longer. I also need to know if anyone knows if ill need new shocks and if my stock ones which havent been replaced will last. Does anyone know where i can good parts for my car and what parts do you suggest? Where can i get a repair manual for my car cheaper thanthe dealer?

Best bang for the buck...

1. Resurface Rotors - $ depends on who does it2. Axxis Ultimate Brake Pads - $45 (brakewarehouse.com did well with my order, don't think any of our advertisers carry them)

I have a 240 so the I30 brake pads might run you a bit more... or they might not carry your car in the Ultimates... but the Metal Masters are good as well!

As long as your struts and shocks don't make popping or thud noises going over bumps and aren't leaking I wouldn't bother replacing them.
