OK so i have decided to stay with the stock suspension until i see fit for upgrade and the money is right.

On to BRAKES now! I think the stock brakes are DAMN GOOD!! but i know with a better pad upgrade and possibly rotors ( not sure on lines as Autox runs are no more than 100 seconds at most. should i upgrade lines?)

Camber-SJB adjustable ball joints on the front ~ 3.5 negative camber. So far my camber in the front and rear are maxed. -1.3 -1.5 not much at all. Im hoping the above mod can get me atleast -2.5 in the front. Word is thats suppose to increase "handling" lets hope thats the case.

What would you do?

No need unless there's something wrong with the originals. Since other things have been decidedly improper/broken on this car, it would be a good idea to inspect the rubber lines.

You may want to check to see if the camber bolts have frozen to the lower control arm bushings. That will make it seem like you can't get much adjustment since the bushing will stop the adjustment bolt from moving. It's a common problem but not the only possibility...

Cool ill have to check into that. As for pads/rotor upgrade I was thinking about the cobalt gt sports but they are discontinued and I have heard some bad things. My next choice would be the Hawk HP+ can anyone chime in on which pad they have found to be the best in performance.
