Wow that's really clean looking nice job I need to do something with my brakes etc.....

thanks man

Damn bro! Very nice! We on the same page, I have same SPC & Poly UCA set-up- not pictured


BTW, your rotors are backwards...

I've heard someone say this before. And I've seen them installed both ways prior. i'm not sure it makes a difference in the cooling capability or pad wear. I ended up doing it this way because any heat, debris, etc. trapped in the slots is pushed to the outside of the rotor going forward and not to the inside. And the slots do not matter as much as the internal veins. But i'll double check them tonight, you may be correct. Been a while since i checked the veins on them...

How I see it they would brake better since the slots are going against the pad as opposed to how you have them where it goes over in a smoother way, if you understand what I am saying.

I do, but the slots are for dissipating heat and I'm sure collects brake dust.
There's also a debate going on for this. But the fins in these EBC rotors are straight fins. But I can still see the slotted section collecting brake dust. With the direction they are on now the dust would be carried away to the outside of the rotor when going forward. but ya, the majority say i do have these backwards but not sure why I want heat pushed to the center of the rotor.

Now I want to turn my rotors around, but doubt I'll be able to do it without a press

Dynamat, will you add some mlv to that or would that be too much weight?

Weights not an issue anymore, but i may just go with padded rug rather than MLV.

I know its probably to late, since you already have it, but...
Dynomat is expensive shit. Have you ever heard of a company called Be-Quiet?

It`s a Canadian company that makes the same thing if not better for cheaper, it what I used in my car throughout everything. Very satisfied with there stuff.

Keep up the good work on this extremely nice build. P.S. I got your UCA bolt....lol

Heard of it, researched it and in the end decided "you pay fo what you get". Think too bquiet couldn't match Dynomat ultimate. I may still try it, i have a lot to do.

Thanks again for the bolt. It's pretty much put a halt to the right side..

Got some new rear hubs and axles. Glad I got the axles as the old ones are super loose compared to the new ones...

Congrats on AOM, Keep up the good work!

Congrats on AOM, Keep up the good work!

Thank you & I appreciate you stopping by!

Big thanks to DanCan here!

You are looking at:
- New axles
- New upper poly control arm bushings
- New poly stabilizer bushings
- New lower control arms
- New inner/outer tie rods
- New inner axle seal
- EBC drilled/slotted rotors
- EBC brake pads
- Braided brake lines
- ESP traction bar
- SPC +/-3.0 camber kit
- Tein Super Street coilovers

New hardware, undercoated the area before all parts went in..........and we are finally done the front end!





Only thing I am concerned with is that i heard somewhere its best to torque the lower control arm inner bolt after the car is on the ground and not before. Same goes with the upper control arm bushing bolts.

Yes sir....No need to put the wheel on though. Leave those bolts a bit loose and slowly drop the knuckle down onto a jack stand/4x4/log of wood. Once the suspension bottoms out from the weight of the vehicle, torque those bots to spec.

looking good!
