Its the sad single piston and I didn't want to highlight that fact. TBH, i think it looks awkward when people paint single piston calipers (strictly preference). If I had the m performance dual piston out back, I would match it. i'm actively looking for a cheaper set

It came with the bumper. It's just an m performance rep

Fair enough - totally agree the 2 piston looks much better. It’s a lot less fiddly to paint too! Looking forward to seeing what else you do on the car.

Update, swapping these toyos for falkens tomorrow. These are the single nosiest tires I've ever had on a vehicle. My beautiful car sounded like a pickup going to down the road. Fortunately the local tire company is working with me and just charging me the installation cost to replace them.

EDIT: Falkens took care of most of the road noise i was hearing out. I'm very pleased

13mm rear spacers added tonight to the rear. Time to add some 10's up front

Nice build thus far! I'm the process of building mine, and it looks like we're on the same path, but I'm a little further down the road than you are.

We pretty much have the same-ish engine mods:

CSF FMIC
Wagner DP
Injen Short Ram
BM3 II
ER Charge Pipe, etc...

We both ended up ponying up for the M-Sport

The only difference is I finished the aesthetics + engine and now I'm all over the audio.

Bro....you think it's easy to drop 5 grand into aesthetics and engine?? Just wait until you take a stab at upgrading your sound system. You'll be out 7 grand before you're satisfied. Speaking from experience here. I'm easily down 6 grand and I haven't even put a sub in the trunk yet.

Where did you buy the brembo decal!! i'm looking to do my caliper soon in a yellow.

You've come a long way OP, car looks sick.

Looks great, get that roof wrapped

Also, why haven't you painted the rear calipers?

Painting single piston rears is tacky to me. If I had the dual piston m performance brakes I would

edub370 · 04-08-2020, 08:12 AM

got this guy's in paint right now. I'm hoping its on the car in the next couple days
