Well done! Looking good!

Question, I see that you have BC N Spec coilovers, how stiff is it?

Nah not stiff at all...it can set it almost stock if you want it too
i drive it daily with it just 5 clicks away from the hardest setting

Nice mod but is it worth $1650??Cheaper to upgrade pads and rotors.How is the pedal feel with the extra volume(of brake fluid needed) created by the new calipers?Is it a big improvement over stock?

damn mate, that's dear.

$785.70/kg weight reduction. Just had a look at the CL7 spoon

4.7kg > 2.6kg

Features
- Reduced Weight: 2.6kg compared to standard 4.7kg
- Manufactured from high intensity aluminium casting
- High structural strength monocoque structure
- Piston Size: 40.46 + 36.12 diameter
- Bracket and bolt kit also included

Is this the one you bought 450-mbf-g00?
