I don't recall actually. My dad knows a place that does work for them off and on and we took it there. It's somewhere on Irving Blvd & Mockingbird/Industrial in Dallas. I don't really remember. It's kind of shady looking in that area anyways. Whole car cost me about $110-$120 if I remember correctly. It's been almost 3 years since then so I don't exactly remember.

I like my new installed Carbotech XP10/XP8 brake pads. I took a couple hours today to get them installed and bedded. Holy shnikies, these things are just flat out badass! They bite so hard on with street tires on, it is a bit of a chore to stay out of ABS. Kyle described them as pads to throw your buddies out the windshield, he wasn't kidding!

^Just like SiliconTek, I like my new brake pads as well except I went with RB ET500s. Just finished putting them on and bedding them in. My pads were pretty worn upon looking at them. I got about 37k miles out of them (obviously I'm not harsh on them, lol). These ET500s bite really hard compared to the OEM ones. I don't know if I was just used to the OEMs being worn, but I don't remember them biting this hard. Either way, brake job done and hopefully another 30k miles out of these pads as well.

I think the et500 will be great on the street. Just watch out for 2 tons of brake dust lol.

ET500's barely dust at all; far less than stock and even less than Magics.

I like my new 40oz beer.

All kidding aside, I like my new Z1's that are sitting over at PTP and not on my car yet. My NT05's look like a set of Hoosier A6's only they ain't that sticky! A nice rain would be nice, ASC OFF/OFF, whirly, whirly!

I like my new power as shown in my signature below. The convenience of changing maps on the fly with the flip of a switch is very cool. Thanks, Kevin! It's working perfectly! Crazy thing is, I still want more speed. That said, I won't be doing any more power mods until I get a new ACT 6-puck clutch installed.
