haha yeah, i run Tein-SS which are a softer option compared to most others n can still get a bit bumpy at times, but i also take the car to the track and they r way too soft for that.

Changing to ITR brakes really isnt that hard. I assume u have disks allround already (Gli) u can pick up a set of front ITR calipers for $200ish... need slight machining and will bolt right up to stock hubs. Re-drilled (prelude) 282mm rotors and an EK4/DC2/(or ideally) DC2R brake master cyl and booster and ur set... breaking will be amazing compared to just changing pads n slotted rotors.

All depends on what ur pans with the car are, no point doing all that if u dont frequent the hills often and have no intention of tracking the car.
