Mikes sending me some slotted stock sized rotors with just better than stock pads. The car used to have drums in the back, but I added the discs now. It'll be basically stock sized disks all around, but the kicker is the V6 acura legend brake booster and master cylinder. I should be able to tap the brake and bust a 4 wheel skid.
thank god you decided to remove that gay moulding crap. now you will have a clean car, but youre still a ricer.

I plan on doing whatever I want. Would you call that impossible?

The underbody coating is some 3M rubberized underbody coating. It was like $12 a can at the autobody supply place. Three cans did the trick.

I did all the suspension bushings at John Haley motorsports. They were kind enough to let me use the press and parts washer.

The rear suspension isn't in yet, and I've never driven a car with the drag coilovers in it, but Colin (snabfxu) has them in his integra (not running yet) and the back is teh stiffness.

I had to take the shown suspension apart again because stock dust covers don't work with coilovers. Tomarrow I gotta go to the junk to punk some suspension bolts too.
