Yeah wasn't bad at all probably easier then the fronts i'd say. rotors would be pretty simple too. You figure out which ones you are getting?

That new vendor (S&R Performance) quoted me $589 shipped for rotors and pads. What do you guys think? I believe he was including slotted rotors and Hawk pads for all 4 corners. At least it better be....lol

I think for me it's just a matter of preference.

obviously buying wheels with the proper offset is the way to go, but if that isn't an option due to availability, price or whatever, spacers are not a that big of a deal.... as long as they are done properly

I have today off if you want to swing by for that new gasket. You're also going to need plastic (aka marine) washers.

Got the bumper through this site, possibly a vendor. I took it to a paint shop by AV Ford on Co Rd 42 and had them do all the work. It was an insurance claim.

Thanks spork. Dtm quoted me the bumper fully painted and cleared shipped to my door for about 630, otherwise i can get a v2 for about 140 plus shipping not painted.

BTW, the deal you're getting sounds good. It cost me probably $400 for the bumper and another $400 for the paint. I'm probably way under with those numbers.

So I spun out and hit a curb a couple weeks ago, I finally got my car back today. I was not drifting, just went the corner a little too fast for my bald tires.


Heres how she looks now:
