Talking PICS: Drilled Rotors, Lowered, 275 T1R

After much debate my setup is complete:

Eibach Pro-Kit

Stillen gold drilled and slotted rotors front and back on Track Brembos with Hawk pads.

Toyo Proxes T1R 255/35/R18 up front and 275/35/R18 out back





Thanks to Mike Wade of Palm Beach Performance for the great deal on the rotors.

I need a new lip or bumper

I had a Greddy lip that cracked and need a new one. It scraped before the car was lowered. Which do you guys think I should get?

Veilside V1 I saw one CF wrapped on Ebay. Where else do I find this?

Thanks. They look much better with the rivet looking things on the Track wheel. I am super happy with the setup and it looks and drives better than I could have imagined.

I'm thinking maybe the Nismo V2 would look good. Whatever I get I want it to have a space for the hamburger as my GF got me two chrome Z emblems.

Nice setup!

Mike Wade at Palm Beach Performance is the man! I do all my own work, but if there is something that I cannot do, they are the ONLY ones I let anywhere near my car (56 mile one way trip - 100% worth it). Top notch work!!

I was going to buy some drilled rotors on Ebay and then I was in his shop one day and he just so happened to have a set he needed to get rid of...at cost!

The guys at PB Performance really are great, especially their installer Tommy. You don't have to fight with them to get warranty work done and while your car is there, they will do extra warranty work or updates you haven't realized at no charge. They will be moving over by the fairgrounds soon and hopefully be getting a dyno. They are the only ones I'd want installing the JWT TT I want.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I really shouldn't say the price I paid as they were the last set and Mike Wade really wanted to get rid of them. I'd hate to get the Stillen guys on him as he is a licensed seller of their stuff. They weren't Ebay drilled rotor price by any means but I did save a nice chunk of change vs their website.

Suprised nobody has asked how it drives, other than a PM that I will address here:

The Toyo tires stick like nothing else short of a DOT racing tire. When it chirps into 2nd and 3rd, it screams a short sound and then you feel the car stick back to the road. It's hard to describe. The wider tires makes the car feel more stable. The Eibachs have made a world of difference as far as body roll goes. I should be getting my Cusco sways any day now so I will comment on how that changes things.

I almost forgot. I just got a price for a genuine veilside CF lip. How do you guys think it will look? Painted or unpainted?

EDIT: I just read how bad the fitment is of the Veilside lip; especially in CF. That Varis one sure looks nice.
