That's probably an oxymoron anyways.

actually, it's a new set of 6th gen rotor and calipers (with new pads, 00maxse). The pillar stuff, fogs, and D2's have been done for a while.


Stop like a **** now! Actually, when I was "testing" the brakes, I took it to a "controlled course", had it up to 110 and hit it hard and the car stopped in about the same time it used to at 60. At that point, I looked in the rear-view and noticed another car that somehow got onto my "controlled course" with me. The problem was, this car was coming up very, very quickly. Needless to say, I got da f*@# out of dodge. took a different way home and when I got to the main road noticed a state trooper that had someone pulled over. Coincidence?

In my garage rafters... Cracked the crap out of it. I'll get it fixed eventually, but I'll only use it for meets and stuff like that. day-to-day driving is a little tough with it.

Everything is working great. No problems with the D2's. If you get them, I'll help you set them up right. If they're set properly, you shouldn't have any noises or problems.
