Got my receipt in front of me:
#1 Spring rubber shim 201-321-09-84
List: $11.78, Net: $5.82

So at the very most you'll be under $25. They aren't expensive. The #3 pads are probably about the same price.

Of course, you could always buy my #3 front pads off me if you want. They are in good condition and I'll give them to you dirt cheap if you are so inclined...although the shipping may end up being the same as getting them new
PM your price and shipping to 95125 with PayPal or mail address. I didn't realize you were going lower, I want to gain some clearance because my tall tires are rubbing the fender...

Car has been in the garage under evaporator maintenance...so its pretty dusty. Just gave it a quick wipe, but it's not clean.




#1 pads definitely brought her down at the front where I want it to be. This is my perfect DD stance

Looking good man! I think some amber or euro corners would look a lot better though. Especially with the gen I.

What's the difference between the US amber and Euro Amber? Got any pics? I've never seen any euro ambers before.
I'm all for it though!

Crap, I posted a pic, but I just remembered its an attachment at 500ecstasy, which means you have to be logged in there to view it.

Ill copy it for you tomorrow.

US Ambers run on the lighter orange side while the Euro ambers run a bit darker. Ever see a blood orange? Its almost like that, a very deep orange with maybe a tint of brown to it.

Personally, I like the facelift the best but you do have a black car so the Euro ambers could work for you.

Yeh maybe someone can get a picture and chop them on so I can compare the gen II and Euro ambers next to each other.
