Finally FedEx delvered my Alien Rotors today. I think shipment was fast enough. They do look like true performance rotors and have a true aggressive look.

Well, I have my Wagners Thermoquiets too for all 4 wheels. So, I will just find a good day on when to go get these put on.

I must mention that since I put on my new tires, for some reason beyond my understanding, my not soo good front brake rotors and pads are gripping like they are brand new. I mean, it is unbelievable. I don't know if it is just my new tires or what. For with my old tires, I could feel vibration and more stopping distance. But I changed only tires and brakes feel like new again; better grip and short stopping distance.

Oh well, I will see how long I have this feeling while planning on when to install my alien rotors with wagners.

Let me share some pics.

Your gonna love them man. I've had mine for a little bit now and wondered why I didn't upgrade sooner. And yeah, tires are really important to how brakes perform. When you let them wear down. The grip just isn't there which causes your brakes to work over time.

Sold my R2c CAI today to lucky buyer CJMcBreezy in Arizona. Don't think he is on here. He bought it off my For Sale ad on the my6thgen.org.

That guy can't know how great of a deal and product he just got! I still can't understand why you let it go! To each his own...... Whatever makes you happy is all that counts I suppose.

Finally installed my Alien Brakes on all 4 wheels together with new wagner thermo quiet brake pads on all 4 wheels. Ordered the racingline FSTB and rear endlinks last week, got them this week and installed the FSTB and wow! It has really improved my cornering. I have not installed the racingline endlinks because I am hoping to save money and buy the progress rear anti-roll bar to install at the same with the rear endlinks.

I currently have the KCMaxx RSB and the racingline FSTB and I can say my car corners very well, better than stock for sure. I hope whenever I can add the progress anti-roll bar and racingline endlink, I will see an even better improvement in handling, cornering and suspension.

I think I will just use this thread as my mod thread so I can easily find all what I have done on my car in one thread. So, after my recent mod it is best I come post pics on here.

I just installed my Progress Rear Sway Bar with Moog links.
