Which gives you better handling: Eibach or Intrax or H&R or B&G??
Where can i get some TRD sway bars??
Is the stock strut bar/brace good as it is stock, or should i get a different one. Where can i get some slotted/drilled brake rotors; which ones are the best??
Where can i get some white face gauges??
How do i fix my 6cd changer; the problem: when i start the car the cd trays move, but i can't stick a cd in the player; how do i fix that, is there a reset button on the back of the cd player of what.

Where can i get some TRD sway bars?? www.toyotaparts4u.com $155 shipped.

Is the stock strut bar/brace good as it is stock, or should i get a different one. The TRD one is only made to fit over the supercharger... other than that, it's totally useless... it's only for looks.

Where can i get some slotted/drilled brake rotors; which ones are the best?? Brembo has slotted/drilled, I think. You don't have many choices here... I think Brembo also makes a big brake kit (that didn't sell)

Where can i get some white face gauges?? www.procarparts.com or eBay

How do i fix my 6cd changer; the problem: when i start the car the cd trays move, but i can't stick a cd in the player; how do i fix that, is there a reset button on the back of the cd player of what? That's not aftermarket, buddy =P

The tirerack.com has EBC rotors. Nopi has Powerslot and Powerstop. Then there is of course Brembo. I would check groupbuycenter.com for those.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.

i have powerslot rotors and i have liked them very much in combonation w/ SSB brake lines and ebc GREEN stuff brake pads.

w/ that i've felt the most improved braking on my car.


i've mauled through TRD, EBC red, and in the process of mauling through porterfield which imho aren't that great.

porterfield is a local company for me, down in irvine/oc area. thought they would have some good stuff, but its just not working for me.

I have a question. For the "powerslot rotors", are you only installed the front two or all four??
