For turbo'd folks: Did you upgrade your brakes??
I tried searching but really couldnt think of what to put. I skimmed a few progress logs but no one really said anything about it that i could see. So for all of you that have turboed your car, did you upgrade your brakes at all as well?? Or will stock brakes hold up just fine? I wanna get a few mor...

yank the black door moldings off the doors, paint the grille trim pieces red, get some red door handles, and then get a lip kit. Most of that would be pretty cheap and really make the car look a lot better. looks a lot better lowered. Id take the moldings off but my paint is REALLY faded. I debadge...

Compared to stock, its obviously a little bouncier but nothing too bad. I can go probably 3 more inches if i wanted to. I'll give ya an exac...
