Honestly I'd look into some deals with figs engineering, I have a lot of the stuff the offer and have really put it to the test time and time again and stuff is still flawless

Welcome aboard!

Do all the braces make much of a difference or do you find its more of a placebo effect ?

which wing are you talking about k20trick. the trunk or the window. the trunk I will be selling shortly once I reach the 30 ay thing here. since I bought the Ventross trunk I don't need the wing.

jlam86 I love the braces. I rove my car hard prior to installing I wrote down how fast I can take corners while in control and I just beat it up. after I install the bars and braces it was just night and day. I took corners with the car leaning before doing about 50. now I take corners doing 70 with out a lean. its just stiff around the turns is where you see the best improvement.

My D2 Racing BBK brakes are in. I will post pics of them on the car. I can finally say I'm the first in the country with this assume brake kit. amazing 16.6 inch fronts and just 16 inch rears like cant wait till I slam my brakes this weekend to see if they actually make a difference.

Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to know. I feel the car leans a smidgen more than my liking. I already have the sikky rear sway in and it still seems a tad sloppy. I might look into this. I like the look of the braces too. Under car bling ahaha

Welcome!

Car looks great! Really like how that carbon skinned roof came out.

If you ever find yourself in the UK for any reason, let me know!

Would love to get this done on my F.

Any plans for the interior? Just waiting on the last few bits from my carbon skinner.

He does great work too, just takes ages! Lol.

Keep us posted on your progress dude. Quite the mod list you have!

Cheers.

Yes they would, I'd be interested in the calipers (so I can recolor mine with minimal down time, have the g2 paint kit waiting!) then I could worry about resale..
