Looks kick ass, Love the rims.

Where did you get the rotors ?

Look at the red anodized lug nuts on ebay. They would look killer on that ride.

Mequires gold glass wax, and I quick detail it alot....(maybe a little too much)...the bigger rears are just bad a$$ from a high speed shut down it no longer noses over and wags it tail, it just sucks it down and stops right now.

Steve-

I know you work with Saab. but around how much was it to do the rear brake mod? how difficult was it? do you have a parts list? not saying I wanna do it... just curious.

side note: I know you painted the stock rims but it makes them look bigger then 18" (to me)
