Looks real nice, you should go with eibach springs for the 1" drop, but you could save about 1/2 the price and go with sprint springs with a 1.5 " drop

I ended up gettin this unit through insurance because i got a similar one stolen outta my old ride...its prolly round 1200-1500 new. U can get a refurb for like 800. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Clarion-VRX935VD-TOUCH-SCREEN-DVD-CD-MP3-PLAYER-CAR-NB_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38655QQitemZ79612761 01QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V

The install was about 1000. They did a completely custom install and took apart the player and seperated the monitor from the actual unit itself. That was their first time doin that but i knew the guy for like 10 yrs and trusted his work. They also added a tv tuner and ran new wires throughout the car to run my 5 channel alpine amp to my speakers and jl sub. I am plannin on goin back to do a custom box in my trunk...but as of right now...im broke. O well....least my rims shine.

I think some cross-drilled/sloted rotors would look nice on the ride.

Thanks peeps. Yeah...i need them rotors and calipers done. Thanks for the feedback. I really want to lower but am debatin on springs or an airbag system. I have no idea how much a air ride system would cost but im guessin its expensive. Decisions decisions....

Anyone have any suggestions on what color to paint my calipers?

Should i match em to my car color or go with the standard red?

Or maybe black?

Hmmm...
