Big Mod Day
I just dropped my 05 coupe at my tech and today she gets all the mods I have been planning all winter. With the help of many CF vendors the list is,
Victory Red Calipers from Mike the Powdercoater
Drilled and slotted rotors from Brakemotive
Hawk performance ceramic pads and stainless lines from WCC
and last but not least,
Johnny O'Connell signature suspension stage 1
I hope he can get it all done in one day.
I know useless with out pictures. I'll post some afters.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Now she stops on a dime and gives 9 cents change, and the suspension upgrade with the PFADT Johnny O' Connell stage 1 package has made the care feel planted. Accelerating with WOT and shifting from 1st to 2nd the car felt slow, but then I realized that what it really felt was very hooked. Just very planted and on rails.
I can't wait for my first track day. Here are some pictures.
The much bigger JOC rear sway bar.
Nice new rotors withe Mikes beautifull powder coated calipers.

Great job! I'm glad that you're happy with the performance of the Johnny O Package so far... but just wait until you've finished your first couple track days!
Let us know if we can do anything else for you!

Thanks, Mike, I have an extra set of ceramics so when I wear out the first set, I'll get the carbotechs for track days.
