gr8r-x: Thanks for the tip on the wheels. I was thinking just a standard set of celica rims as I don't want to spend too much and I want to keep the look low key (sleeper ) , but I think I will check out some silvia rims.
The reason I used the RA40 brakes is because I got the complete struts, rear drums and master cylinder for free. I didn't know about the difference in the bolt hole spacing at the bottom of the struts when I got them so I had to buy the lower control arms but for $40 I can't complain . I plan on fitting the RA40 master cylinder to the KE30 booster and using the RA40 drums on the rear (although I think they are the same as the corolla ones anyway).
Hopefully the brakes will be a cheap upgrade that will satisfy an engineer, give improved street performance over standard and be a platform for possible future improvements.
BTW the reason for the brake upgrade is because I plan on fitting a 4AGE .
