Ok, that's all fine and dandy, but dude you are almost into coilover prices there. Never mind the FE2 crap and get a good set up!!! That's just my .02 cents. You can get a set of K-sports for like 1100-1300. Borrow the extra cash and go coils.....way better everything!!!

It's just a matter of time the current stuff is bad!!! I actually looked up kSport coilovers earlier 1170 shipped. Plus I think 300 for sways. That's another 2-3 weeks driving around praying my wheels don't fall off. you know what I mean lol.

Andy's autosport has them. There is no way it will be 2-3 weeks shipping. You can have those in a few days. Trust me, you will kick yourself in the ass going with stock stuff. Again, just my opinion. That's a lot of money for a stock suspension set up.

I mean waiting for my paychecks to pay for it!

Hold off on the sways. Definitely don't need those right now!!!

I know that budget is always an issue. If you can hold out.....try it. Couple hundred dollars is a small money difference for a huge performance difference! Good luck either way.

Gotcha man! Thanks for the advice. I'm on mobile and I can't find the rotor how to. Can anyone find me the torque specs for the caliper mounting bracket? Please.

I can't remember the specs**
