Build and advice for Heidi

[Her name is Heidi]

I'm looking to order upper and lower radiator hose, expansion tank, OE water pump and the smaller pieces for a mild cooling system overhaul this week. I am also going to order brakes but before i order the Turner Motorsports brake service kit I want to know if anyone has ever used UUC brake rotors. Link below. If I order the Turner kit I was thinking of going with either the slotted rotors or the Brembo OE blank rotors with Hawk HP pads. Thoughts?

Any updates?

Yes sir, I have ordered and installed the brake overhaul kit from Turner Motorsports. Went with slotted rotors, HPS 5.0 pads, and SS lines.

Regarding the cooling system I went a little over kill. I went the full performance overhaul route which includes a Stewart Performance water pump, Mishimoto aluminum expansion tank, Mishimoto silicone hose kit and new thermostat. going to install Mishimoto silicone intake boots also. I am having my local shop install all the cooling parts within the next week or so.

Next on the list is going to be sway bars front and rear. Then hopefully power adders will come after that.

Wow, thats awesome! Your cooling system will last longer than any other part of your car

Great to hear.

Could you ask your mechanic how the Mishimoto expansion tank install was? I heard some people were having fitment problems with the early versions

A little late to the party as it looks like you've already pulled the trigger on some stuff but my 2 cents anyway:

Cooling overall: do this first, stewart part is maybe worth the difference in price, but this part of the system is nowhere to cheap out on

Strut tower bars: probably won't notice much performance difference, but front bar has potential to help prevent mushroom

Sway bars: yes, you'll notice a difference. Yes, it will be better. I'm not convinced the car handles better with a big rear bar, but front end grip is certainly enhanced with a big front bar (I love the 30mm M3 front bar and it bolts in to the 330)

Stoptechs: amazing brakes, but unless you're putting in serious track time I'd spend the money elsewhere like headers/tune

Car looks awesome. Nice upgrades so far.
