I don't really know how the TOM'S brake pads is performing cos i think the brake bias setting is 70% front and the rest goes to the rear, so cant really tell.

TRD brake line is the tubing that supply the brake fluid to the calipers, as you know the stock tubing is made of rubber and this tents to expand when you brake by changing the brake lines to Stainless Steel tubing expansion is limited thus more brake fluid goes to the caliper and better braking.

Haha, That's the exact same setup I'll have in a couple of weeks! I already have my 50mm f1.4, I'm just waiting on the rest!

Latest Update....
Just install sprint booster today and i must say WOW.... it's worth it. the acceleration and throttle response are greatly improved. Had fun driving today with lots of overtaking

I got this device from ebay. a guy in Hongkong, Kowloon is selling it. It's kinda costly at US$299+US$20 shipping, total cost is US$319.00. but i think its all worth while.

I can't find any spoiler that i like, besides the car looks quite complete without it.

Oh wow, so that isn't your car. It seems as though you have a twin in Japan - it looks exactly like yours...
