Default WOOT! Joining the modded G8 club:)

Picking up a nice LR 08 with a mild H/C, intake and exhaust next weekend Ive Already got a set of polished 5th gen wheels for it! If anyone wants to trade there Midnight silver 20's for the polished ones let me know. Im trying to decide what mods to do next! Im thinking the brembo swap and then MAYBE the GXP front bumper since it already has the rear... Anyone got any other ideas? Anything out there to "spruce" up the interior but still be clean and profesional?

I'd probably skip out on the Brembos. These cars look funny with regular brakes in the back and Brembos in the front. Just my 2 cents.

NOW THAT would be impressive! Please post pics if you do! Would love to see that.

What parts would you need to put Brembos on the rear? Where would you get them?

Other than the calipers and rotors for the rear you would need a custom mounting bracket. Theres a couple posts about a guy on the g8board that sells them. I would probably just make my own since custom fabrication is kinda what we do. Its still a pretty cheap setup, for around 500-800 depending on what you work out for used calipers/rotors. That gives you 13" in the front and 13.75" in the rear. You will need an 1/8" wheel spacer if you are using your stock 19's, using 20" camaro wheels you dont need any spacer.

If you were closer I would trade out my midinight silver for your polished rims.
