[QUOTE=bartSS;525716 And the Brembos will help me out cus i drive like an ******* sometimes and they dont fade like the stock brakes do you know.[/QUOTE]



I like the OZs too. But if it's the upper motor mount you are talking about, you need to get that. It is a huge difference, you will be glad you did no doubt!

One caution with the Brembos, after sitting in rain /snow they rust. I know that's normal, but it takes a minute to scrub them up. It's an odd feeling when you step on the pedal the first time and it doesn't want to stop. I've learned to ride the brakes for the first couple hundred feet after it's been wet and then sat.

I would love some HRE wheels, but I'm not spending that much on wheels at the moment. As a side note, I hope to have some eye candy finished for the BBQ in June.

I only paid $400.00[delivered to my door], for the rims on my SS, and sold the stock rims for $800.00, so I came out o.k. on the deal.
Got the wheels from discountire, in San Diego, Ca. if your intrested in a deal on rims. "Moon"

My issue with swapping the wheels is finding a lighter wheel, that I like. Rotational mass has the greatest effect on perceived power. The OZ wheels would shave almost 50lbs of rotational mass. I would suspect that one change would yield seat of the pants gains.
