    This weekends update...so I came up on a set of rear disc brakes. Sadly my buddy lost his car in an accident, but I helped him strip lots of parts off and he hooked me up with the rear disc. Also got a complete set of SS lines to go with them.

    Took them apart today and cleaned them up with the wire wheel and painted them. Used black engine enamel, so they'll last a long time.

    So happy to have disc behind my rear wheels now. I haven't fitted the wheels yet, so I'm afraid the studs on these may be a little long.

    Thanks man. I like the multi spokes a lot better on my car too. Although my wife's hatch looks great with 5 spokes.


    Haven't done much but should have some updates later this weekend.

    Thanks the passenger side looks so good pulled. Def gives a wider apperance. If I get some time this weekend I'll snap some pics.

    Small update...I rolled and pulled the rear passenger side, but it still needs camber. So I talked to a buddy and I'll be picking up a fully adjustable rear suspension. Camber arms, toe arms, and LCA's. Once I pick that up I'll get down to business.

    I agree. Thanks.

    The rears are rolled, just deciding if a heavy pull is what I want to do. I think it is since I want a wider look.

    I'm running spc rear camber bolts. Here's how they would look maxed out on negative camber and slammed:

    Same wheels, riding higher, without camber bolts yet:
