well now would be the time to go ahead and do the upgrade then, check out VBP and look at their kits. I Highly recommend the O-ring calipers, SS lines and DOT5 juice. The other stuff works and will last for years, but the DOT5 and O-ring combo in my experience will last longer and give fewer problems over the lifespan. Its no more trouble to do and only a few bucks difference.

I'm going to be dealing with VB&P for my brakes and suspension. I'm going to go with the S/S and O-Ring kit, but I'll have to buy backs right now. I also need Rotors, pads, and all the metal lines for the car. I will get everything but front calipers this time and get those in a month. The only good looking option is the SSBC aluminum Force 10s, but I'm not paying 1600 for Front and Rear Calipers. I've already decided that this is going to be my Tame but Effective car and the Z will be my ***** to the Wall car. Thanks for the suggestion.
