    I have an 04 GTP and I am looking to upgrade to a brake kit, I'd pefer ZZP because I have credit, but I am open to any suggestions. I am looking for something slotted and dimpled? I heard that it was no longer good to slot AND cross drill the rotors, it is supposed to make them prone to cracking?? Not sure, but I dont want to take any chances. If anyone has bought any brake kits and want to give me their feed back id love to hear it, maybe some pics of how they look on your car
    I am alos wondering what suspension mods can you do for an 04 GP? Is there anywhere I can get a front sway bar?

    If you want a better sway bar there is the comp G bar or you'll need to swap out your LCA's for the older style.

    Will the sway bar for the comp G fit my GTP? Also the only sway bar I have seen for my year is for the rear only

    I went with GXP brakes (drilled rotors) on the front, and stock size slotted rotors in the rear.

    Car stops on a dime, with 8 cents change.

    If you have 17" rims, GXP brakes will clear. I am running stock wheels, and I have no clearance issues. Don't believe everything ZZP tells you...
