the rear drum to disc conversion for the 4cyl guys is common (V6 already has disc rear) as for the Evo 8 conversion it's rare on the rear but more common on the front (which i've already done)

so I took the car out for a test drive earlier today and what a difference disc brakes make. This is one of the best upgrades i've done and it feels nice to have the braking system of a rally car now

I got the seats done as a birthday present so i don't know how much they cost but I would assume around $1700-$2000 for all 4 and as for the creases I took that picture right when I got them about 3 years ago and now after some use the creases aren't as visible as they once were.

Not bad man all it needs is maybe a drop and a lipkit of some sort. Dont do it fast and Furious style tho.... Lots of eclipse owners LOVE to do that for some reason thinking it looks awesome!

Thanks for the compliments guys, i'd love to lower my car even more but unfortunately my driveway is very steep and if I back up into it, the front bumper will drag.
