Default the new wheels

Well These have been on the car for a month and I still dig them.. next money project is painted calipers and new rotors, hopefully slotted. any idea where to get the rotors from... especialy rotors that don't rust???

looks good, all rotors will rust if you let your car sit in the rain, but once you use them again all the rust is gone

www.ws6store.com. They have a drilled/slotted rotor package available on their site for $165, and I have had them on my car for a little while now, and they look really good and stop HELLA good. I bought the Hawk HPS pads, also and my car stops on a freaking dime.

I just got a set from Wholesale Direct ( 1 of our sponsers) got front and rear rotors drilled and slotted and pads for $214.00 + tax & shipping. They cadium plate them for free and that prevents the rust. Check out their website. Look damn nice on my car.

wheels look nice but i would advise against drilled or slotted rotors. current brake pad technology doesnt require them like older pads do. all it does is cut down on your clamping area. dont believe me? check out the braking section here, there was a big thread on it.

speaking of yellow/dirty looking headlights, does anybody know why it seems that mostly only 98/99 cars have this problem? Did they change the plastic of the lense, whats the deal?
