+1 I vote akebonos. They look great and with a paint job could easily match your fronts.

I installed my 350evo camber arms so I can now confirm that they will fit the awd. Chris thanks for the tip on shaving off that one part. They seem to be working. I think they solve the issue with the arm hitting the strut tower.

They are also really easy to adjust. When I put those volks on, I had them all the way forward and the wheels were sticking out big time with the 275 in front. Loosen them up and slide it back bang tucking with 275/30 up front.

Mark, Brembos will look great with your wheels. Are you going to do a color change or leave them the stock color?

Vivek, I'd just wait and save for the Stoptech rears, that way the calipers match and you have a set that was intended to be run together.

I just checked on the pricing for the stoptech rears and they are 1450, not bad. I thought they were going for 2k

thanks Marcus, imma leave 'em stock color for now. one of the main reasons i chose them over Akebono's, i would save money on color change. plus they're lighter. yeah, imma pair them up w/gold DBA xdrilled/slotted rotors, 2pc & 1pc. hope a get a spot near you at Wekfest, what day are you all heading up, BTW???

Finally decided what wheels to buy...

Prodrive GC-014i

Forged made by Volk (aka Volk Progressiv ME)

19x8.5 et22
19x9.5 et25

Color is British Black (similar to light gun metal)

http://www.prodrive-japan.com/inform...news/20071228/

Got them for a very good price. The guy I bought them from has another set and if anyone is interested send me a PM and I will put you in touch with him.

No problem Ernie. Becareful with those camber adjustment bolts on there. They are only speced for 20lbs of torque and will snap easy if you go beyond that because they are made of alluminum

That's an awesome price, they have really come down. My Wilwood rears cost the same amount. 2 or 4 piston? Drilled or slotted rotors?

Very nice, yeah hopefully we can park near each other. Not sure what day I'll be heading up yet. Roll in is on Sat I believe so either Friday or early Sat morning (I'd prefer the latter, but I gotta check with the rest of the team).
