I run the girodsic magic pads - $150.00 for a set of F&R, they work good imo. Its a stock replacement pad that doesn't break the bank and im sure perform better than the cheap advance pads.

The stock pads are much to over priced - the magic pads perform the same if not better, they def. have more initial bite than the stock pads and dust muuuuch less.

Also the steel braided brake lines are really nice - fyi if anyone is in the market.

i may have to pick up those pads as well. I know I'm approaching another pad change here soon.

Does anyone know the easiest way to get to the parking lights in the headlight assembly? I'm assuming i'm going to have to go through the fender liner.

I did my HID's very easily with the bumper off, i have it down to a science so taking it on/off is no big deal anymore (least to me)

Great breaking news guys!

Another tuning option in PA (though toward Philly)

Jeff Evans just announced that they are going to have an AWD dyno
and will be entering the Evo/Sti market. (He has a Evo SE BTW)

http://blog.evans-tuning.com/

He tuned my car while I was in the Honda camp and was always professional and
always got good results. So thumbs up for more options!

not bad for a full suspension swap.

Jeremy I'm in a tough spot cause I want to sign up in the worse way to see if my suspension changes and tires changes yielded enough improvement to get me the cup but the thing holding me back is I'm suppose to be coming back from vacation the saturday of the event. I had talked about the wife and my son coming back with the in-laws and me coming home by myself from myrtle beach on friday but nothing is set in stone. I will let ya know one way or another.
