What does front brake pad reminder mean? Not just a regular brake job.....

ST coilovers + ATE rotors/Akebono pads + RPi exhaust = "Happymofo"

Thanks to Nerweezy for the exhaust !

Hahaha....know the feeling. My last brake job literally turned into $12k in mods! AWESOME job! Can't wait to see the finished product.

lol funny thing I was thinking of doing the same exact thing when my front brakes needed to be changed well minus the rpi part but doing a full brake overhaul on pads and rotors to something with more grab to it. I think we use these minor upkeep repairs as another excuse to go modding.

first initial review of ST coils

Since its been only 2 days from stock setup
Ride - comfortable only a little bit stiffer than stock. Very surprised as the drop is pretty significant. Daily drive into work, the same route and same bumps. Almost not noticiable the difference.

Handling - soooo much quicker and feels lighter.

Next update after alignment and wash to take some good pics.
