NEW struts, rotor and brake pads

few days ago i asked you guys for your suggestion on brake rotors and pads
thanks alot for all the suggestions

i ended up with
KYB GR2 struts

brembo brake pads and OEM rotors since i dint wanted to spend money on rotors

i got my car back yesterday n i can see a big difference in ride
the ride is smooth, steering wheel is abit softer

brakes are much much better now, no sound and the braking power is tremendous
i wud suggest brembo pads..

i dnt feel that vibration while pressing brakes anymore
and the vibration in steering wheel has reduced too....

i also tinted the back door windows 20%
it dint came put perfect but still looks better

the next thing todo is to get leds for interior

Good stuff, I'm about to go GR-2 on my front end, if whatever else is wrong with my car isn't too major and I can actually afford it.

That's normal for all high performance brake pads.
