Ordered DBA 4000 series front rotors from Josh. With the help of Justin B, they got installed today. They look pretty trick and judging by how the worn out stockers weigh vs. these DBAs, I think the DBA 4000's may be lighter? Interesting if so.

DBA makes good stuff from what I hear I like Australian craftsmanship!

I'm a big fan of these rotors so far.

updated mod list. rotors installed, new tires on and botox bolts ordered. RCE front sway in like 2 weeks

Botox bolts installed...easy install with the right tools.

didn't notice much of a change with them installed, but considering everything else done to the rear suspension, i'm not sure if there was much more to get.

group n bushings for the lat links and trailing arms still sitting here...those are the last mod for the rear suspension that i can do/have planned.

rce front bar on its way....going to sell the whiteline 27/24 combo then.

need to replace the recalled whiteline rca kit with the revised version, then get an alignment. planning on a group n trans mount too.

I realize this is like months after this post of yours but I was @ Area 1320 and saw someone's black 05 STi w/ Enkei NTO3+M's, EL headers, and an N1 race exhaust. It sounded freakin absurd and it was a cold start. I can only imagine how loud that thing would be once warmed up.

haha, the N1 exhaust style is always ridiculously LOUD. both myself and my buddy ran one and had to swap it off the car because of how LOUD it was. personally, it gave me headaches driving my car with it on. The Borla is much more subdued.

Yeah I am glad I went with my HKS. To me it sounds perfect with the extra sound from being catless. I'm still on the fence for what headers to go with. There are so many out there. I've decided I do like the EL header sound and it would give more power. I just have to decide on a brand.

Awesome..I'm glad you like the EL sound. I do miss the boxer rumble here and there, but the EL has too many benefits to ignore.

For EL headers, if you have the cash...go full-race and don't look back.

I have the Perrins...and they rattle. still trying to track it down. I've heard Mad Dads leak. APS cracks..even after 25 revisions so who knows...

RCE front swaybar here. Took off work today to enjoy the weather and put this on the car. Will post up a review when I've had some seat time...I'm expecting very good things.
