Wheels: Enkei Rp03 18x9.5 +38 1lb heavier than rpf1s in the same size but less weight on the outer edge, they are typically more expensive than rpf1s, but main reason I bought these was I got 4 new for $500.
Tires: New Falken Rt-615s 275/35/18, I’m on the hunt for AD07s if found these will be for sale.
Brake: Racing Brake BBK 13'' + 2-piece rotors all around to compliment. I'll be doing some really interesting comparative testing for RB on these, Stay tuned. Cobalt Friction GTS front, Hawk Hps rears.
Suspension: KW Variant 3 Coilovers independently DA, custom valving done by KWusa. Awesome price via the group buy.
Battery Relocate: I'll be posting up a nice DIY for you guys on how to do this the "proper" way.

Tried my hand at metal fabrication and MIG welding on Friday, not to bad IMHO, should look pretty stock with some flat black grill paint on it.
