    Thinking about Bassani

    flows suck. They sound ~ok at WOT but otherwise they drone and have no character, though I do have a catted H pip so that might be part of it.

    Quad shock direction?

    stock upper and lowers...some wheel hop. I have not launched it hard at all though so I couldn't say for sure...I think it's a car-by-car thing

    door hadles and window motors

    +1 I have to tackle these too. I'm thinking of going to manual windows and metal door locks...

    Quad shock direction?

    Same exact setup as you, mine hit pretty bad so I just took them off...flipping didn't clear for me.

    Rotors and pads for 5 lug upgrade

    I searched a few days and ~$50 was the going rate. I'm thinking of sandblasting these too, it will give me an excuse to buy a compressor :rolleyes:

    Rotors and pads for 5 lug upgrade

    Oi. :shrug: Guess I should have haggled a bit. I did get brake lines with both and pads on the first pair at least.

    Rotors and pads for 5 lug upgrade

    Alright I guess I'm gonna pull the trigger. It's not an outlandish price for the spindles alone and there is the possibility that I won't have to drop $110 on a pair of brembo blanks.

    Auto-X

    I'd try running with what you have now before you go and drop big money on slicks or something.

    Rotors and pads for 5 lug upgrade

    The first set cost me 55...the new set cost me 75 :-/. The first set came with pads...I'll have to have someone look at them and tell me what they are and how worn they are... The spindles, hubs, rotors I'm looking at are 150 and are really what I need advice on at the moment :D Gonna go...

    Just like I planned, this thread is making me feel quite a bit better about my little fender bender.(That's not aimed at you guys in serious accidents but the goofs who park their cars on telephone poles <3)

    Rotors and pads for 5 lug upgrade

    Eh I ordered another pair anyway. I'll resell the first pair to someone who is not quite as anal as I am :p. Any input on whether or not the Ford OEM rotors will work out ok. The price seems pretty darn good to me for spindles and rotors so even if they are not great, I imagine they will be...

    Rotors and pads for 5 lug upgrade

    Ok I guess this is turning into a progress thread for me... I ordered a second pair of calipers and I am now working on a deal for spindles. $150 Spindles, ABS Hubs, Sensors and OEM New-Old-Stock Ford Rotors...Good, bad, maybe?

    I don't think you need to bother with rockers unless your doing Heads, Cam, Intake. Also don't bother with a CAI unless you want the looks they don't really make much more power than the stock airbox and a good filter. IMO, make sure the car is clean and solid, go through and replace anything...

    Won't go into 1st

    Pretty harsh, maybe next time you could enlighten us without the condescending attitude? Maybe I didn't anyone to teach me how to drive a manual?
