Have sway bar
have rear struts
going to try to do rear struts this weekend, need to see if struts came with new top nuts since I forgot to check. Have to order 2 sway bar links for my front bar, maybe do that next weekend.

I think that the struts and swaybar will make a world of difference.

I think so too, the 24mm solid front should compliment the 22mm solid rear bar. Right now my front and rear bars are the same diameter :lol: That makes for interesting handling on a nose weighted fwd.

Ordered new rear pads, I don't like the ceramic ones at all. It feels like the front is doing ALL of the stopping. I know it does most, but those rear ceramics don't feel like they do anything. I'm switching to a semi-metallic rear, damn the brake dust.

Also I think I'm going to finally get off my ass and order the coil overs...I just need to figure what spring rates I want. I'm thinking 8K front and 10K rear?

The semi-metallics will go right along with your "hear me come in last" theme. The pack of wild hell-sent banshees you hear trailing your car might just be your rear brakes.

I have no noise from the supposedly squeal prone Hawk HPS in front of the Celica, I use compound when I install. Ditto for the Semi metallic pads on the front of the Mazda as well. A bit of compound and proper bedding of the pads, never a bit of noise save for the little bit of 'chatter' at a stop caused by the high friction and light pedal pressure when on the cusp of grab or release.

Cant wait to see which ones you get Bitter. I just have a quick question, what do you think of the TRD wing?

It won't make my car less slow.

:lol: Well I was wondering, because I think it looks stupid and saw a car like yours today with just the TRD wing and it looked incomplete

Sounds like you've answered your own question.

My only asthetic mods are what you can see in this thread. A smaller antenna, some stickers, brighter lights, and yellow fog light bulbs. Brighter lights could be a safety upgrade since I made my running lights about 75% brighter than stock.
