I have a pounding headache at the moment because I just got off the phone with the people (stage performance) that I usually order mods upgrades or just oem parts through. Well at lunch at taco bell today, I called them up and gave them a list of things to order for me... but to call me first to confirm the price before I made a final decision. I basicly asked for all components (gave a list c/o KidZelda) needed for the 5 lug swap/ Z32 TT brake upgrade.

As I was on my way home I noticed I had a voice mail so I checked and it was them telling me to call them. I called, and come to find out that the price for all the parts I asked for came out to be $1793... I was astonished.

On top of this, I've been trying to source some 5 lug wheels so I can drive the car... Well I tried Fitz (its sort of like a junkyard). They wanted 150 dollars per Z32 TT wheel and thats without tires.

Alright the point of this post really is to have anyone with a heart or soul... or both, help me out for finding a cheaper way to do this. My brakes are litterally gone, it takes me probably double the distance to stop than when they're semi good. I know pdm sells a kit for this for about 900 something, but thats still too much. I've completely run out of ideas on where to get the rims with tires for around 250 because thats about the max I can afford. I have thought about buying Z31 Turbo rims, but Im not sure they can clear the 30mm calliper...

Well any help is greatly appreciated... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP!!!
