By the way, I believe I am one of the very few, if not the only one, with a full UCF30 all-aluminium monoblock brake conversion made by DSR. I think if I remember correctly, Alex had it at one time but decided to remove it because he didn't want to alter his dust hat. Enjoy the pics.

Don't you just love shiny new toys?!?!

Wow things look to be coming along quite nicely. If my car was having a transformation like that I would prolly setup a cot next to it in the garage lol. Can't wait for the final pics!

I got it from my main man Alex (HKGS300) in Hongkong. He's shipped quite a few parts to many CL members in the US, so he's very dependable. I suggest you PM him directly for better info.

You finally got off your lazy butt and had these things installed! I'm shocked!

Can't wait to get your opinion on all of these items and let us all know how much of a difference they made. Either way, it's looking sick my brutha!!
