Monday - oil change, installed exact front camber spacers, lubed up the bushings, readjusted coilovers to compensate for the camber spacers.

tuesday/today - retorqued the bolts after reading about the snapped bolt issue in the suspension forum, re readjusted coilovers so the car didnt look like i had an invisible fat chick in the passenger seat

hopefully before friday ill get an alignment done. to make the car drivable again

I paid 225 shipped for calipers and pads with drilled/slotted rotors, couldn't pass it up. The calipers are huge compared to the stock GS brakes, it's not a real BBK but it'll look alot better than stock, all the space behind my high disk wheels has been bothering me. Hoping to have it done by Friday.

Wow! Seems like everybody's doing something to there cars everyday
Kyle, man you got a good deal on those calipers, maybe you can post a diy for those caliper onto a 2gs, that'll be nice.

I didn't do much to my car today except drove her to work and during my break time i went fishing and ran over a pot hole Hopefully nothing happend to my rims. I haven't checked it yet, will do so after work.
