Got replacement OEM rotors and pads. Friday will be brake day. Will check the shoes in the rear too, but hoping they're ok.

Semantics LOL...... here is what he posted This will give me a chance to install the camber bolts and have a wheel alignment at the same time. Install or pick up my point stands excess negative camber causes inner tire wear excess positive camber will wear the outside edge. And that is why I asked the question is he going to be adding MORE camber.

I have a couple negative degrees of front camber with my Buddy Clubs. Checked the other day and there is a bit of inner wear on the tires, but not crazy. It's worth it to me for the supposed handling improvements.

Another update on Denso PK22PR11 plugs. Hitting the ignition advance cap of 55 degrees a hell of a lot more then with the original plugs.

She is REALLY feeling the extra timing now! Gas mileage around the city has gone up noticably. On the highway, I would wager a guess at an average gain of 1-2mpg, depending on speed.

My average mpg is slowly going up from where its currently at, 26.2 (stuck with city driving rest of week)

Rear under spoiler?? If so can you please take before and after pics from the same angles. I'm 90% I'm going to get this at some point.

I'm just waiting for funds to come in before jumping on this. If anyone wants to buy my jdp diffuser, I'll be putting it up for sale shortly

it sounds really nice. i would call it sporty, yet refined. sounds deep and aggressive. i only have the axel back, so its pretty quiet. my friends say it sounds like something more substantial when i pull up... they expect something badass, not a Fit with 1.5L fury. lol.

I think that makes up my mind, then. Its a little more than most of the systems out there, but it sounds like it'll be worth it.
