Had my teener going on 6 months now. Several upgrades accomplished already:
swapped pedrinis to fuchs installed Porsche emblem Aiwa Cd Component speakers Ultimate air dam air dam and rear valence painted to match the car. I'm "ok" with the fuchs... but the car needs a set of 16s or 17s and to be dropped 1.5 inches. I want to do a 5-lug conversion.... I also want to keep the fenders stock. Is there a kit? A kit that includes everything I need for a 5-lug conversion. I have the money to do it right, just wanna make sure I get quality stuff. I'm going to go with an aftermarket wheel, so a nice brake upgrade is definately in the works. Any suggestions? Places? Companies? Parts? Help! |

QUOTE(ninefourteener @ Nov 12 2003, 08:22 AM) If I do end up getting the hubs re-drilled, can anyone recommend a good "stock" brake upgrade. Can I put "big" brakes on the stock rotors? Will it look stupid behind a set of 17s?? bigger brake calipers on a stock rotor is NOT a good idea. (has been discussed here before). why do you think you need a brake upgrade? (no, really, i'm asking your opinion) do the brakes feel spongy? you can't lock the tires, even if you try really hard? weak pedal? if so, you might need a new master cylinder or simply flush and clean out your braking system. the stock braking system is enough for a stock car that is not raced, IF in good condition.
