welp. been saving up and paying some bills.
finally had enough cash saved up in the bank to buy my full Brake kit, Pads,Rotors,Stainless Steel brake lines.
with shipping and handling came out to about 600$

pretty cheap cause i got a old school DA, but damn. took me a while to save up that cash :'[
maybe im just bitching cause im 18 though and only make about 700-800 after taxes/bills a month haha xD

HAWK HP PLUS for the pads
Brembo Rotors for Front/rear
Goodridge Stainless Steel brakeline kit.

I have the hp plus on my formula. I'd recommend them.

i have hawk on my spirit r/t, and akebono pro act's on my challenger. Love both

was debating between ebc yellows and Hawk HP Plus's for a while.
finally just said FK IT and bought my whole brake set from pwjdm.
basically cleaned out my account today. sitting at 200 bucks haha.
now its just the waiting game with shipping from LA to the East Bay.

thanks for the feedback guys. hopefully i am as pleased as all of you with your hawks :]

gonna be running Motul 600 RBF brake fluid. was recommended it by my brother who is a skilled mechanic and a old DA owner.
found it in a cycle gear shop xD.
got 4 bottles @ about just shy below 100bucks. (needed around 4 to bleed my brakes when they come in.)

next steps to upgrade
Hankook Ventus RS-3's 205/45's 500-600$~
XXR 530's (GOLD) 16x8 500-600$~

then my final upgrade for my completed suspension
Full TEIN coilovers w/ Pillowball's - 1200-1300$~

Have a pretty decent exhaust already but im gonna go head and upgrade to the
Megapower Skunk 2 Full catback 500~600$ also, think im running 4-2-1 dc sports headers, so no need to upgrade that anytime soon.

and ofc last but not least cosmetics, first thing im gonna get is the Mugen rep front bumper and stick some fog lights in those holes baby.
200 for the bumper, bout 200 for painting it, 50-100$ for the lights?

Spent about 700 bucks today.
thank god almost everything is going to be done by personal labor and not shops or id be looking at ALOT more cash for mechanical work.

I run the same fluid. It doesn't have the life of Dot 3 but it's good stuff.

Welcome to the life of modding your car, pay to play.

Grats on pulling the trigger on your parts though!

thx for reassuring that haha.
i was contemplating it because they were 22 bucks a bottle out here xD.
but if its good stuff hey, worth the mula.



haha i feel it. i honestly dont make enough but hey who does.
only pullin in 400-500 biweekly but hey my bills aren't that big anyway xD
120 for car ins, paying off my iphone 6, and some fixed expenses such as gas and my own food.
thank god im still under my parents roof, i appreciate them alot because man..... if i had to pay for rent even WITH a roommate. my finances would be shit.

i always feel like shit spending cash, but for some reason this whole day, i've just been happy and excited for my parts to come in and get my hands dirty.
