Seen this car tonight. Looks great, and most of the good stuff is on the inside.
I guess they look cool sitting at a car show though..who needs them to be working to show off, right?
Yeah, the Front Wilwood kits are nice. Sometime down the road, I'll get that setup too. My feeling, regardless of how light our cars are, is that you can't ever have enough braking force. Congrats on the purchase and can't wait to see pics!

actually unless you are road racinig or otherwise repeatedly hitting the brakes hard, having 'enough' braking force is easy.
if you can stop on the breaks and the ABS is engaging, you have more than enough braking power.
if you road race you may find that after a while the brakes get less effective (called fade) and this is where big rotors and strong precise calipers become key.
At the texas world speedway road course I wasn't having any brake fade issues with the stock brakes, but there wasn't much need to slow down there, other road courses may differ.
