Project Mad Panda - My 2010 Taffeta White GE8 Build

I vaguely remember reading a member using the Centric e-coating rotors. Was that you? Upon looking them up, they're just blank correct? How do you like them with your Hawk pads? I was thinking of sth similar just with slotted brembos.

Great decision with buying a used car, especially a GE since they have been shown to be very reliable. I bought this CPO and fixed the little items that the previous owner caused and saved myself alot of money.
Hawks are a good upgrade and have better bite and predictability than OEM's but they are a tad more dusty than OEM's.
Thanks for the compliment

Tanabe sounds better from the short drive I had, this is much quieter which I expected.
I will be removing the resonator which should help liven things up

It's ok though, I prefer to louden a quiet setup vs trying to quiet down a loud setup.
The Mugen exhaust clearly says "Sports Silencer" so it's somewhat true to name lol!

Picked up my Koni's from Micro-Image
Going to get them installed tmrw
I have one clip to share of a rolling start, will get one with just a startup soon.
The Mugen without the resonator removed sounds nearly identical to OEM, I needed more volume.

Thanks, I actually like it better than the Tanabe without the resonator.
I did not want something too excessive and this is perfect.
Only the Koni yellows are adjustable, these are better suited for aftermarket springs which should be all I need.
I will need to hear your exhaust next month!

And for sure! It has a little more pop than yours though. But I think it's quieter because of the smaller diameter tip I replaced the original with to fit the Mugen. My friend also did a res-delete and his is the HKS-- sounds louder and it pops so much more especially after shifts(I'm glad it's not my setup haha).
