I never knew they had performance brake drums. I might have to get those.

nah cause when you buy coilovers you gotta dick around with compression and rebound. besides, i'm not looking for something that can autocross. i just want something than can cut corners and is a fun canyon car.

Where did you pick up the struts and shocks? Please say AJUSA.com...they are the cheapest on the net for $205 shipped roughly.
