Paired it with a set of Project Mu's Rotors and Lug Nuts.
PLEASE tell me where to get them rotors!

How is a 4-piston compared to stock?

Purchased them thru DWS Parts.
Hard to say because i haven't used stock brakes in over 3 years.
Few months after i got the fit i upgraded to the S2K set up.
Personally i feel the S2K set up had a nicer bite.

Long shot, but by any chance, do you know which ones you got? Looking at their SCR series, nothing specific for the GE8 but I'm guessing GD and GE use the same rotors anyway?

Received and installed the rear progress sway bar. No interference with my hitch. Super easy install.
Haven't had a chance to drive the car yet...

I believe they do use the same rotors.
I got the Club Racer Rotors.

3 months waiting for the part to come in. I had the car on my driveway. They said they couldn't store it. I drove it once in a while since they said to drive at your own risk. The Avis guy said the 1st month cost $1100 and 2nd and 3rd months cost about $1000 each. So a grand total of $3100. Now I'm not so mad over the dealer taking me for an axle replacement last year.

Bath Day

Washed the new, TW Fit.

Mods so far: Weathertech mats, Husky Liner cargo mat; led interior lighting; gunmetal valve stem covers to match the wheels.

Plans: cf vinyl wrap hood, front and rear diffuser, and exterior door pillars; new antenna; leather shift knob and brake handle; 4200k lights; yellow headlight armor fog covers; bumper applique...maybe new tails? Haven't decided/found ones I absolutely love.
