Next Step In my SVX

I am new to the SVX game but I am quickly becoming addicted. What is the best upgrade I could get for under $400. I am looking at some cross-drilled rotors...I could maybe by in sets...what other recomendations do you guys have? I already have nice Konig rims...gorgeous tires...nice paint job...what's next on my limited student income?

-Scott

P.S. The stereo is already maxed out and I can't afford video or navigation!

Ahh vanity...

You've poured so much into the shallow end of owning a vehicle, you definitely should poor something into the performance end. New performance rotors and decent brake pads should be a good start. Go for race concepts rotors.

If you have some extra money lyin around, I recommend investing it in the life of your automobile. Get a tranny flush. Get a coolant flush. Replace the air filter. Replace the fuel filter. Replace your plugs. Replace your belts. Clean the throttle body. There are a ton of maintainence things that can and should be done to improve the performance and over all drivabilty of this fine automobile.

Lightbulb Rotors....

Just a thought....
If I where you I would check out ART. That's Applied Rotor Technology... They have BY FAR the best rotors that you can buy without having to sell an arm or leg or something..


Just take a look..... I can't seem to find the web site at the time, but I think that it was a link in one of the places that I was at looking for parts for my SVX.... Just hunt around

Good luck

if the irotors group buy is still on... that's probably the cheapest set of cross drilled you can find right now
