And you're in Ontario like me? What did that cost you in CDN funds? Details man! Details!
Well, this is gonna put my pic of my 800$ of stock brake parts to shame when they all finally come in.. :P
Awesome man, power to ya!

Over night parts from japan was another F&F joke... LOL
Thanks for all the complements, as for all the pricing here goes....
Coil overs are sold with the spring for $95 each AMERICAN
Rear springs were $112 american for the pair.
Total expense at ground-control.com =$341 without shipping.......
I figured this car is gonna stay, so why not enjoy all it has to offer. All at once took a beating on my bank account.
"Realize though my car was handling like **** and my brake rotors were wearing thin.
I Didn't want to do all this, I Had to do all this!"
-explaination to girlfriend!! LOL
Also -brake disks were $736 canadian
-shocks were $690 canadian

hmm... I was going to say... Ground-control is based out of Cali, what the hell were you paying Japan shipping on that stuff for...
Ok, Just a question, but is all of that going on your -SE.. An S4 turbo? Manifold & runners? And those rotors aren't going to fit your car without a large amount of work....
Details please?

Thats what i'm getting.
Looks good man. I may look into the ground control units depending on how my ride height turns out after all suspension is done and engien is in.
are you gonna turbo the 6 port? If so, efi or carb?

Ppl can drill or slot them however you want. They are not (usually) forged into the rotors. At least not for us broke kids.
The ones i'm getting i'm going to maybe get combo slotted/ drilled. I think they would look wicked sweet.

yeah, well I don't really want crappy ones that crack... If they're cast, that's good... drilled afterwords all pass and just go for the powerslots like I'd originally planned....
The car actually sees a lot of autocross, and some road racing track days, soI don't want to skimp out here..

Jimmy, can I ask why you paid nearly $700 for a set of Tokico Blues? I hope it's a typo...I paid about $220 for mine, shipped. That's in CDN funds too, it was $177 US shipped.
I'm also considering doing the GC coilovers. How many pounds are the front springs rated at? I think it's 300 but I may be wrong. Let us know how it turns out, it's basically what I want to accomplish on my car in the near future. Thanks.

Nekky,
yes the front springs are 300lbs/inch and the shocks came to 690 with tax to be exact. Then you got a great deal on yours.
Rx7gsl-se,
brembos are ordered as such, walk into a performance shop and ask for drilled brembos and you are done. That was what I did. I'm probably the last person on here that would skimp on my car, as you put it.
Timmya2,
The Ignited starter button, is a starter a starter button.
Iotus,
That turbo might be for mine unless I go full t2 like my bro. We picked up the motor yesterday and it's an s4 not s5. None the less since we might both go microtech I may sell my header and my turbo my 13b 6port. Or for me just a haltech f5 cpu.
