Sounds like you've got it all worked out.... I wish I was so decisive in my modding!

What kind of rotors are you going to get?

I don't think you'll need spacers in the rear in order to clear the Akebono's, but IMO the car won't look right with spacers up front and not in the rear. Is your car lowered at all? If so, you may want to consider 25 mm spacers up front and 20 mm in the rear. If I had to do it all over again, that's what I would go with. If your not lowered, or only lowered a little bit then 20 mm up front and 15 mm in the rear should do it.

I went with the Hawk pads on Racing Brakes' recommendation. They tell me that the Project Mu pads are a little too soft for their rotors and they won't wear well at all, so they recommended a harder pad to match the hardness of their rotors.

Thanks, Man. I think I've got almost as much work into my garage as I do into my cars. LOL

I just need to epoxy coat the floor and I'm done with it!

Here are a few pics of the work bench that I refinished last Summer:






I've since installed a 32" LCD TV between the cabinets:





Sorry to take this one so far off topics guys.. maybe we should start a garage thread on here?!?!

Beautiful! Where'd you get you cabinets from? I've got epoxied floors (comm. grade), but my tools are everywhere! (oddly enough, as scattered as they are, i know exactly where everything is).

You should do something like a Racedeck rather than epoxy (imo).

Thanks for all the nice comments, guys. Unfortunately the garage isn't as neat as it should be (too many car parts and other stuff stored in there), but at least with all the storage it's now useable space.

Hahaha... As long as you don't mind having a roommate, Brian, since I almost live in the garage myself to escape my wife. LOL

Depends on which cabinets your refering to, Mike... The cabinets around and below the workbench were all bought from Costco a few yeears back. I got an excellent deal on the entire set, including the large storage locker next to the workbench as well as the workbench itself. I'm not sure if Costco carries these anymore, but you can also get them from carguygarage.com. All of the large Gladiator Garage Works storage cabinets along the righthand side of the garage I got from Lowes, since they had by far the best price on them (even thought you have to assemble them). And the smaller red storage cabinets along the lefthand wall I got from carguygarage.com, since they were the only ones that fit the space well and also matched my toolbox.

I actually had RaceDeck tiles in my last garage and hated it. It looked really good, but they are so hard to clean and anything you spill seeps between the cracks... Plus, my hot tires eventually discolored the light grey tiles. The house before that I epoxy coated my floor with an Industrial High Solids Epoxy Coating along with a clear top coat and it held up amazing. It made clean up so easy and looked great too... It was by far the best garage flooring I've had.

LMAO... Not until I coat my floor so I can clean it up.

I think I answered your questions already in the first post on this page. Let me know if there is anything I left unanswered.
