The 99 nose is getting changed for a pre 99 one weekend coming, I seem to be the odd exception that hates the 99 front! Got some 99 rear lights to go on.
Wheels are 17"
I'm going to!
Already sorted a swap, I really dont understand why people like them compared to the earlier front.
What brakes are you runnning? Looking at changing the front now, thinking hi-spec after the d2/k-sport thread.
yeh saw your thread and commented, tbh, i have seen the hispec kits first hand along with the ksport/d2 kits and tbh if your just using it for fast road the d2 is prob gonna be ok for you, i dont like the hispec kit as tbh it doesnt seem any better than the d2 stuff... plus i hate atomic rex (currently taking them to court!!)
on the rx7 club (american site) there is some info that evo 6 (i think) calipers (brembo) fit straight on! im pretty sure you could get calipers disks pads and lines for under 400 and i would have a shed load more faith in the brembo's than anything else for similar monies... either that or get on yahoo japan auctions saw some grex calipers go for 500 the other day with new disks and pads!

iv had d2 coilovers before, i was very impressed with them
lol the fact of the matter is companies like d2 and ksport are ok if you are just wanting a simple cheap product... i have driven on k sports etc, compare these to parts that are made by good companies and there is a HUGE difference, went in a rx7 on k sports, then fitted ohlins to my rx7 the difference is actually completely night and day... same with brakes compare k sports or d2's to alcons or ap's or brembo's there is a HUGE difference in quality, there have been reports of d2 and k sport discs exploding, calipers getting hot then seizing and not working when needed! or calipers cracking, blowing seals, pistons corroding and sticking solid inside the calipers...
2 most important things on a car is steering and brakes, why the f**k would you put cheap suspect parts in these areas?? if you are upgrading power to a level that you need to upgrade the brakes or steering do it propperly or upgrade the brakes etc first thing i learnt very quick with my 200, do it cheap do it twice... simple as buy cheap parts they 90% of the time fail and need replacing alot quicker than premium brands, some people may say its badge whoring but if you look at cars that carry all major manufacturer parts, they very rarely fail... compared to cars with the cheap parts on.
**same with rota rims**
