my 04 with brembo's are fine. If you keep the slide pins greased every 15,000 the pads will wear evenly

by 06 they fixed out all the bugs

find a color that you like with the right price and enjoy

i highly suggest getting warranty .. unless you know a good tech to work on your car

i got a 04 with 53k miles ... minor repairs done so far (light bulbs, window regs, regular maintence)

oil consuption was only on the rev up motors ( i believe ) and those motors came in the 06+ 6MT's

i believe the new engine fixed it .. gotta ask someone who had that problem .. i honestly dont know

also prob cause they had a heavy right foot

the manuals came with the brembo calipers. They run fine, and they are super easy to change your own brakes.
