WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY?

Installed Stoptech rotors and pads, only got the fronts done. Still need to get the rears replaced. Took a bit to get the original rotors off smh

Don't forget that the bolts holding the aluminum skid plate that have a 12 mm head are the right size to thread into the rotors to push them off the hub.

I bought some bolts for it, but didn't know that. Thanks for info

Good choice on the rotors!

It's just a sticker sadly, JDM points will wear off.

I bought a set of those a few years back, along with some braided stainless lines. Good hardware all around. Never really had a problem with the originals, to be fair, but the replacement feels noticeably better when you have to put your foot in it.

Only issue I've experienced is they do get a little squealy when they get wet, such as after a wash or a lot of rain, and only as you're coming down to that last 1 or 2 mph to a complete stop, where you're not really putting much pressure on the pedal (unless you're panic stopping). It takes a little time and a good amount of application for them to dry off and quiet. I'm curious if you've encountered the same behavior.

Running the same stoptech pads/rotors and can also confirm the squeal.

I've also noticed a lot more brake dust compared to the PP pads/rotors but overall performance is much better imo.

Installed RCE Tarmac 2 coils with RacerX front endlinks and SPC rear LCAs. First impressions - very comfy ride! None of that constant shimmy, the suspension seems very settled and much more confidence inducing in corners.

I had it set to what RCE recommend in terms of height, so it does look a bit 4x4 unfortunately. I'm at a point in my life where I actually prefer ride comfort over looks so while I *would* like to lower it more, I definitely do not want to do so if it will negatively affect the ride. So if anyone can chime in on this with these specific coils, that'd be great.
