Thanks man! I've made due with the base brakes, but it's definitely time. Following some smaller lighter cars around the track made me realize that there is alot to be gained with this car and it's braking. I've been happy because I haven't experienced any brake fade (good pads and good fluid

), but the stopping distance needs to decrease. I think I'll be happy with akebonos and some good pads. In the meantime the car is off the track for the next month or so. I'm going to clean her up and change the fluids...sort of give it a nice check up. I'll post some good pics of her nice and clean!

Good to know! I'm planning on doing oil, trans, and rear diff fluid changes. I'm also going to clay bar and touch up some knicks in the paint, and put a nice coat of wax on it

It needs a day of beauty lol. Also might flip the tires around to get another trackday or two out of them before I change them out. The tread is getting kinda low :/
