All this talk about brakes and exhausts have got me to finally make up my mind. I'm going to get a set of the stock Rays, put 20mm spacers on, then upgrade to the Akebono BBK. Then I'll convert my 18s to blizzaks and put them away until winter. I've decided on the exhaust, FI TDX CBE with 18" resonators. That way if I decide to TT it, the GTM turbos will bolt right up to the exhaust.

I have a set of clean stock rays if you want to buy them. If your interested you can come take a look to see if you want them. I had 20mm spacers too...but just sold those couple weeks back.

Damn you guys. All this talk about 2 piece rotors has me thinking about getting a set. The Z1 rotors look to be about 200 bucks cheaper, but I am not familiar with the rotor manufacturer. The 20 pound drop (total) in unsprung weight is tempting. I will have to do some research on the popularity of the two brands and see which is more popular.
