Not too sure if that extended steering angle is safe but good idea, are you 5 luggin in the rear?

Curious as to how you managed to snag the brake upgrades for $90. You know a guy who knows a guy? That's a steal to be able to replace all those, more info please.

Car looks good! I like the front bumper

i hope you have enough threads for the steering angle mod though.

That was my concern too, but at least you are our guinea pig I might be doing that Q45 brake upgrade when I come up with some cash.

More pics of the car?

It has been sooo long since I have looked at a OEM inner, but I know the Tein tie rods have 10mm spacers that you can add to do the same thing, and IIRC, the threads look the same length as in his pic with the spacers installed. The inner rod does not take that much force, so I think you should be just fine.

Good price on the Q brakes!!! I got mine for $95 + shipping new of eBay, but then I had to shell out for rotors and 4 lug machining. Sounds like you got a steal!

i just took a drill and a 1/2inch bit and used my old rotor as a guide lol it was really easy redrilling the rotors myself!! haha we'll see how they do on the track today

ANYONE IN AZ AREA SHOULD GO TO THE GAUNTLET TODAY
