Out of curiosity, what tires are you guys running with? |
Some quick math on the STI parts, using like pads from Essex:
2004 STi front rotors (Centric blanks): $93/each
2008 STI rear rotors (would need to be redrilled but regular 2004 STi rotors don't work right?): $55 each from NAPA
C300 front pads: $386
C300 rear pads: $215
Total: $897
Essex Sprint Kit:
Front Rotors: $165/each
Rear Rotors (Centric blanks): $44/each
C300 front pads: $190
C300 rear pads: $235
Total: $843
I'm running 235/40 AD08s currently.
