Default Here we go.....

Today I ordered my stage 1 upgrades.......

JBA Shorties, JBA H pipe duals, Eilbach sportline springs, AEM CAI and Predator flash tuner...........

The fun is about to begin.

Any suggestions on on brakes? I would like to install 18" wheels and I want to know if replacing the original rotors (only) leaving the stock brake assembly will make a noticable difference..... thinking about power slot rotors.....

Thanks and Stay tuned...... I am going to record the install precess for future references.

Thanks for the reply Lester,

So I take it that for "budget reason" a change in rotors and pads only (leaving the brake assembly stock...) will not make a big difference?

Your back brakes are fine and if you want upgraded front brakes buy the GT take-offs from the saleen website. The entire brake package for both wheels is only $99

Just to give you a heads up, the AEM is great for car shows, but it was dynod to show no gains over the stock airbox unlike the other CAI's on the market. I hate posting this when I see someone mention they ordered one, I don't want to bash the product, but thought you should know in case you change your mind before it ships out or you open it.

If I remember correctly, Doug @ Bamachips dyno'd it and it was the only one with no gain. Just an FYI.
