New rims and brakes 56k and dirty ass car warning

[SiRcivic27]

Well I finally got my car back after my accident where I apprently drove a good 40-50 miles on a low pro tire without air in it. I dropped the 17's for stock wheels, got a good deal from a guy in Milwaukee. Replaced my bad caliper in the rear and upgraded the pads and rotors all the way around.

Is that a slotted rotor? Powerslots at all 4 corner w/ Hawk HPS pads, holy stopping power!

I took my g/f with me last night for the second round of bedding the brakes, 3 hard stops from 50MPH to 10, on the first one she freaked out. It was fun!

Will do a better photoshot once I drop some more and get my new front and rear lips on, and wash the car!

clean that car!

nice, I've the same brake setup wating to be installed; powerslot and the hawk pads. I'm waiting on the braided lines though and will do it all at once. good to hear that you like em.

I know, but its kinda hard to wash a car when its been less than 10 degrees for the last month. I'm going to do SS lines when I paint my calipers black, hopefully this summer... flush the system to and get some good fluid in there.

The tires are Kumho Ecsta ASX's in 205/50-15

damn i miss my si's....anyways , what happened to your lip ?

 

[SiRcivic27]

car didnt come with one, I have a new CTR front and OEM rear lip at my house, they need to be color matched then I'll install them. Either in march or this summer, depending if I can install my turbo in march.

Si rims are growing on me

 

[SiRcivic27]

I just dont like how bright they are, my previous rims as you can see in my avi where a gray. I'll get used to it, I can already tell the new set up is much lighter than my 17's.

The Si wheels look good, My car is real dirty right now too.

I'll do braided lines later, thinking about putting on the Vtec DOHC stockers on the side of the car... opinions?
