Larger rotors alone don't do anything for braking improvement(except add weight) unless you have larger matching calipers. Dont bother, stick to OEM brakes and then get a BBK when you have wheels setup for BBK.

My pads are getting close to needing replacement, so I was going to go with SS brake lines, brake fuild replacement, and maybe Hawk pads for now.

I'd post in the Car FS section on here. But apparently you can only properly sell a car on this forum if it's an Infinity. LOL (No "other cars" for sale section)

I had to take my car into the shop today. Its going to be either the throttle body or crank position sensor. Hopefully it wil be back up and running tonight.

Well my G is down. Its not the throttle body. They are trying to trace why the top of motor isn't talking to the bottom. I am hoping its not serious. I am hoping its some sensor, like the cam.

Car still isn't right as of this morning. Car was runnign fine with new mass air flow sensor until this morning. No check engine light and throwing the same code for crank postion sensor, which has been replaced. Looking at cam controllers now.

Yep using an Amsoil, but had a Stillen air intake on for about year and switched back to stock box. There is no luck in getting my G up and running. The car shuts down the fuel at a certain rpm.
