Your car looks really really nice mate! What size rotors are you running 355mm or 380mm? By the looks of it you filled up your 18"s with those caliper and rotors. You should step up to 19"s. Where did you get your Brembos and how much? Did you check out Evo for your kleemann stuff? Let me know.

Thanks mate! The rotors are 14".
Would love to upgrade to 19s but the ride would be too rough. Plus i hate to put on heavier wheels. I'm trying to take off as much weight as possible. Did you know that my 18s weigh about 3lbs less than the stock 17s. I even took out my spare tire.
The Brembos were $5,400 (installed).
As for the Kleemann, i will install the supercharger soon. Will keep you posted.
Let me know if you have further questions.

Joe,
I have 19"s right now and from my experience the ride isn't that much of a difference than on 18"s. Plus you can always get a set up HRE Comp series in 19"s which only weighs in at 19lbs per wheel. Now tell me that isn't light? Excellent choice on the kleemann s/c. Pls keep us posted.
