Matrix Mods.....

im looking to get a Xrs and im sizing up the insanity i can stuff under the hood. (well actualy under the car)

TRD 1.8l VVT-i bolt on Supercharger - Q's: its listed only for the Xr
WHY? and if theres no good reason, can it be put onto a Xrs?
EDIT: reserch answers all. the 2zz in the matrix runs 11.5:1 if one was to super charge that it would blow its piston threw the head. due to rod strech.
Good Link: http://www.sandsmuseum.com/cars/elis...ne/toyota.html

Brake Upgrade: TRD has a 4 piston Alu capipers, with Sloted rotors. OH and SS Flex Line (ooooo Ahhhhhh) Q's: are they bolt on? biger rotors?? or just stronger brakes with a thicker vented rotor? would i just be better off throwing on a set of OEM calapers from a lexus?

Rear Coilover convershon: IS IT EVEN POSIBLE?

while im on the subjust: Torshon bar upgrades?

Swaybar upgrades: are there any package's that offer .5 inch or thicker bar's? and Beefer links?

Under body pans?: am i better off just making my own? or are there some decent aftermarket ones?

Cluch Upgrades: whats it cost to have people with more time then me to do one? (any one know the book on the job?)


Any ways i just like to say im looking foward to roling in a matrix.

Ya, 1200 is alot to pay for a brake upgrade.. this make's me think that the upgrade includes new Hub and nuckel aspemblys. .. id rather do a OEM to OEM style upgrade of puting on OEM brakes from a difrent model car.
