and beyond...:rofl

More importantly - the ST-R brakes are about 33% lighter than the regular ST brakes which are MUCH MUCH lighter (don't know percentage) than the OEM brakes (calipers and rotors)...thus less unsprung rate...much better than the 60lbs lost on the seats (TOTAL for two)

As for seats, the seats that come with my ///M are comfortable, look good, and I have full lumbar support w/ heat. Even though the Recaros are about half the weight, I can live with the OE seats until I have done everything else first...they will still be there when I'm ready to buy them :)

Charlie - let me know when you are ready - maybe I can sway my Stoptech vendor to extend you 25% off retail

Yeah Seth...as soon as I get my finances lined up I will be able to move on several things for the ///M with a vengeance...;)

@ Stuart....when this happens I will be in touch with you first...:thumbsup

My best friend delivered his old ///M seats the other night :) I will be swapping out seat covers from my current seats to put on these since they are in like new shape. Time to replace my worn seats with a fresh set. :thumbsup

Always doing mods in pairs....one for the ///M and the other for my ZHP :thumbsup What better way to take care of both my babies? ;)


EDIT: I did not go with the Stoptech BBKs shown above. I ended up going with the Brembo GT BBKs with Yellow calipers instead.

You never cease to amaze me with your modding, all top quality upgrades planned and I love them.

BTW, GiGi flip flopped again, now she's hell bent on keeping her vert. After 22 years, I've stopped trying to figure her out and just go with her wishes.
