avoid hawk HPS pads, if thats what you had in mind. theres a whole list of pads in the susp/drivetrain sub forum (under the stickies).

ive heard great things about Satisfied GranSport GS6 pads, GS5s are hard to find and have a higher brake coeffecient.

Group 2 in Seattle sells and stocks Ferodo brake pads. I've been running them on my ride for about a year now.

Probably like $100 for shipping, a discount of $75? I can ask tomorrow, I'm still finalizing my price for the stuff I'm ordering as well.

We should do a meet/karting session. $22.50 per person for 2 races each is a pretty good deal since a license is normally $6 and each race is $20. I already bought one so here's my referral link for anyone that doesn't use groupon already.

Someone else had sent me a link to this and I picked it up. Probably go with the GF next weekend and use them though. Will be done for a meet there in future

Nice tax return claiming your kids?

but yeah I'd definitely get on this offer while it lasts because shipping on these bumpers is ridiculous ($175) regularly.

^kids, house, taxed to hell on paychecks. We got a lot back but most of it is paying bills. That said, I can usually always squeeze out $500 for something nice if need be!

Here is the Mitsubishiparts.net thread, for anyone that is interested. It sounds like it is going to happen any day, and I imagine JDM rears will be a part of every order.

FYI - I know Carfax requests come in occasionally, so figured I'd post this. Get it while it lasts!
