oh, you need help finding them.....well for now since your not going hardcore drifting, i would just get oe replacement rotors and pads from autozone. exhaust depends on the sound you want. not sure on the arms.

for cheap arms, megan, yamato, ISIS.
exhaust? idk, personaly i like custom but there are so many options out there is hard to choose one of the name brands.
pads, i love my hawk HP+ pads, squeaks as balls but very grippy. brembo blank rotors! get them at carquest.

If you KA and don't plan on going to the Mountains too much el cheapo Autozone pads/rotors will be fine. I had the stock S13 brakes with those pads/rotors do awesome till about 90mins into a Mtn Run once... scared me shitless, lol!

Exhaust, I'd go custom. Suspension parts I'd go with whatever brand makes the colors you look if you get the cheap stuff, isis, megan, etc as they are the same pretty much.

I recomment SPL for the braking upgrade, just get a good set of pads and go with stainless lines, brembo blanks, replace fluids

I have a custom exhaust that I'll sell. I think it's 2.5 or 3" and has nice apexi style muffler with angled side exit. I know I should take some pics, huh?

Buy a good VLSD or a 2 way nismo diff if your going to slide it, dont spend the money on an exhaust which will free you a whopping 5-6hp which you would be hard pressed to even feel a difference with.

I agree, but if you want to do a good brake upgrade I would recommend the z32 front 4piston calipers (easy swap). Enjukuracing has drilled and slotted 30MM rotors for this kit and the agency brake lines. If you want to do the rear too, be ready for a pain in the ass job. You can find the "definitive z32 brake swap" on google and it will tell you step by step what to do. I think that I spent 900 for the entire swap. R32 e-brake cable and all. It took 2 days to do the install because we had to put the rear hub ass. and the rear knuckle on a 40,000lb press to get them to separate.

Im pretty sure she's 4-lug. Get new bushing for the suspension also, they are all probably completely worn out.

thanks for the replies, I think I made a deal on an exhaust, as far as this goes, I just want a lil better sound from my car, not worried about HP at this point, but the beater can still sound good LOL!!
