Bending takes less than 5 minutes to do. I would say 2min. Lol. Also, I test drove the car for a bit and the brakes smell. It smells like the brembos when I first opened them. I guess they are breaking in. My car also showed a check enine light for the MAF sensor. It's weird since I didn't do engine work besides removing the intake.

Those look great on there. The red backing plate from the brembo pads really show up!

Thanks man. Even the Brembo logo shows on there which I didn't really want but I really don't hate it. The solid (yet off colored) red looks really cool. Lol.

I also cleaned the MAF just now and it got rid of the check engine light.

My rear brembo rotors should come in this week.

getting her ready for the dragon? ^_^
Yep. Oil and transmission fluid was changed last week. H&R springs, SPC camber arms, SPC camber bolts, and front Moog end links were installed two weeks ago. Alignment tomorrow.

On the weekends do you just dig into your pile of parts and whatever comes up is what you work on?
Kinda, but it is dwindling now! The suspension was most of it. Now if I can manage to find time to finish the retrofit...
