definitely needs to go lower but any lower at this point would make it very difficult for me to into school parking lot lol, i'm already scrapeing as it
Lol, still looking alot better than what you were running before man. It's forming like Voltron!

If your number one concern about brakes are dust, then you shouldnt buy performance brake pads.

Just go to autozone buy their premo class ultra crap whatevers they have low dust.

Hawks hp+ stop great, they have amazing bite, from everything I experienced with them, its best to just buy regular rotors and replace the rotors with the pads because they bite hard and where out the rotor, but stopping is the name of the game.

If you wanted something better than your regular autopart store and less dust than Hawk, you might want to try Porterfield race pads.

The HPS are supposed to be low dust pads. I already had Autozone pads on my car and they were terrible. The reason i bought the HPS instead of the HP+'s is because they were advertised to be low dust pads.

Granted it was s13 but i ran HP+ front and rear z32 fronts and s14 rear calipers and slotted rotors, but they worked really well. Just street drove them while i had my car but they definitely needed to warm up some to work well. Not sure how accurate this is but it definitely felt like my braking distance was cut in half haha. Always found my self coming up WAY short behind people at lights and coasted in or probably scared the shit out of people when i broke way late. But yes, they do dust like a mofo, depending on driving style i would recommend weekly cleaning of your wheels.

I've ran both HP+ and HPS pads
HP+ = dusty, worked well once warm
HPS = works well, modular braking, low dust (not dustless but definitely less than crap store pads)

My bronze wheels look black after a week.
Looks like i'm going to give the HPS pads a try.

How's that look from more than 3 inches away? And who in the fuck needs 12 inch wide wheels that bad... Yet can afford the wheels, but not a proper pull... I'm confused as hell.

Almost 3in big deal, the thing is no everybody can get that pull without cutting or welding, and yea 12in wheels are sexy and grip when u are making 400+ hp, with this pull u dnt need overfenders

I just think people need to have real experience with things. Like if you cant afford decent wheels on your stock body, why widen it more. Further more, you realize you don't need 12inch wide wheels for just 400whp? You could run 10s with better tires.

I just don't understand your logic at times, if you cold just be honest and say, I think this will be coolest, instead of trying to act like it is justified, but without using logic.

Reminds me of seeing slow kids trying to put square blocks into circle holes.

I don't know man, looks like you'll need to buy overs or just get a new car, unless that is exactly the look you were going for.
