I definitely feel the AMG brakes are fantastic. Probably the best brakes ive had on a vehicle! Just with all the performance upgrades ive made on the engine I felt I needed some overkill on the stopping power. I think fast is cool but safety and braking is more important. I went with the larger calipers in the Brembos as well for that reason too. Not worried as much about that few extra pounds of weight either.

The headers were sent out to Swain Tech to get their "White Lightning" ceramic thermal coating to help reduce ambient temperature in the engine compartment by heat insulation. They just came back and are ready to install. They turned out great!




The rest should be moving along quickly from here on.

Assembly is coming along. Have prob 100 parts that need to b put together as seen on the shelf. U can see the polished control arms that turned out awesome as well as more powder coat. There is still some fabrication, powder coating as well as other ideas that are being put into the project. Hood looks amazing.
