Maybe i should start up a fund like Jesda, so i can get a set of rims. I actually need an alignment more than rims. :D

matt4pl: heavy throttle has the rotors drilled 4 lug for you for free. taks forever to get them that way though. Don't know what kind of rotors they are, but they're cadium plated.

edit: did i mention my exhaust is loud as hell? I set off car alarms with it. Relatively quiet idle though.

Looks excellant. Those brakes are about the best upgrade I've done to my car, other than the 5spd swap. Well, the suspension is great too, bah I dunno. I love everything about my car. So yea, I love yours too. Coupes all the way baby.
