cool stuff! What brake upgrade? 1.8 brakes or something else? Tie rod ends and bushings?? thats a fun job. I would leave a weekend for that, cause those bushings are a pain in the *** if you don't have a press!

i cant decide between the 1.8 setup or going to drilled and slotted, my best friends dad runs a small mechanics shop and he has a good sized press.

drilled and slotted? I wouldn't go any farther than slotted if you do any track events.

You will see a lot more benefit from 1.8 brakes than you will from drilled and slotted. Plus, you just need rotors and the bracket for 1.8 brakes anyway.
