Bought some neeeeeeeeeeeeew rotors. Got that AAP 25 dollar off 60 dollar order and used it twice. 
Purchase Price: $6000.00
Taxes: $202.75
"H6" Rear Brake Brackets: $64.04
CX Racing all aluminum Radiator: $133.99
Front Rotors: $42.98
H6 Rear Rotors: $36.35
TOTAL: $6480.11
Still need to buy lines, pads, and I think I'm going to go ahead and rebuild the calipers.
So, talk to me about steel brake lines. I did a little search, and oem hoses are more expensive than Stoptech or MachV stainless lines. I was just gonna get OEM hoses, but damn son. I'm not paying more money for a lower performance product...but what downsides to stainless lines bring? RJ says "they may need to be replaced every year" but I can't imagine that "DOT certified" = "Replace every year". On the other hand, I"m not interested in having a line fail on me on the street. What do you guys think?
Also, I'm looking for a catless uppipe. Not interested in a possibly disintegrating cat sandblasting my exhaust turbine. If anyone's got a line on a cheap one, lemme know.
Furthermore, I need to know what you guys think about brake pads. I was thinking about just getting some inexpensive ceramics, just need a decent street pad for now.
:-D
