Cool Slotted brakes/ pads, and suspention thoughts

This is known as a review but here's my .02

I ordered some slotted brembo rotors from gotham racing, for both front and rear and I do understand that all they are are brembo rotors that have been machined. As for my pads I got EBC Reds for the front, and EBC Greens for the rear. IMOP I was pissed at first I never relised how much those basterds were going to sqeal only as I came to a stop like last 7-5mph to 0mph) but other than that they were great. Now that the "break in" coating has wore off they no longer sqeal, I must say when I first start braking they dont feel right but give that fricion a fraction of a sec to build and wow thats some stopping power, now that they have gotten settled I put them to the test, 130mph and didnt stuff the brakes but I did put some pressure on them and damn down to 60mph faster than I thought. the SRT-4 that was attemping to keep up and follow me had to keep going to the next exit, poor bastred hehe, THE WIFE WANTED A NEON, HE WANTED A FAST CAR, so they got a SRT-4 when it boils down to it, its still a neon... anywho overall on the brakes I would recommend them in a heart beat, and put money on it you would love them, that is if you like to stop on a dime.

Now for the Koni's and H&R's, It took me a while to decide on what I wanted to get I was at fist going to price, but I always will choose quality over anything. The set-up I got just so happend to be used and off this fourm, great price, and a great produts. As for chooseing the spings I really wanted a stiff spring where I would feel the road and imporve the handling, and lower it a hair. Well I must say when I got the parts they were in very good condtion and clean, the install when as smooth as I thought untill I smashed my fingers but lets skip that as it only brings me anger... After I got them in and drove it around for a few to "settle" them in I got out and looked at the stace HOLY ****!!!! IT GOT LOW!!!! lower that I expected but DAMN it looks good drool...and the hadleing has improved greatly and the launch "throw back" is next to none, and the brake nose dip is nearly eliminated, the ride is to my suprise smooth, stiff but really smooth, and the corering is beyond what I expected, if it werent for me rubbing my fenders it would be what I would call perfect, with the execption to a squeak got on the rear passander side, still have no idea what the hell is it all I know it must die. I highly reccomend both the springs and struts if you want a smooth stiff and aggressive stance, the one thing I do reccomecd doing is and aliment, as you should with anywork to this nature.
