xxscaxx Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 id say a new set of rims. i need them. i like yours, but if your going to add a lip and stuff and lower it i think you should. i mean if you keep the stockers itll still look good. very minimal engine mods, which is smart since the warranty. you should still turbo though hows the difference b/w your srt4 and the rsx?

A-spec suspension is an OEM upgrade, but that's the best quality, and the car is lower by like 1.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attaus Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Nice.. so you have an RSX-S and an '07 S4? Sounds good, you def. should paint the calipers black over red. The K20 is good with boost. Make 500 whp on stock internals FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compuvision02 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Why not do polished brake calipers? Not a lot of people do them and they look great. I plan on doing them to mine when I get the rear disc conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranny Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 easy , go get a new set , sand them with rough grit paper until you get the rough texture out of the metal. than step by step , use finer grit paper. go 120 , 220 , 400 , 600 , than polish them with whatever polish tickles your fancy with a buffer. than when your satisfied with the finish , silicone wash them , get rid of all oils might be on them , and clear coat them with a few good coats. pow polished brake calipers.
