get better tires then. If you can lock up your tires, you've got more braking force than tire. What you need to upgrade is the weak link.

what year 626? I would have thought alot of people would have done this upgrade? I'd like to see a side by side rotor and caliper pic.

Re-wired my HID's. Basically I removed the headlights fully, installed the bulbs while actually looking at them, separated the positive/negative that goes into the H7 plug from the same boot as the HID bulb itself so I could install the headlight boot, and now everything is properly aligned, sealed, and wired. I also put the drivers side headlight in the oven and took it apart to clean the inside because there was some smudging from when I blacked them out. Overall, I'm much happier knowing I did it right.

Also, I'm 90% sure my bulbs are 6000k.

EDIT: OMG, 247 posts!

I wish I could see some local people with HID's to compare, because if somebody says they have 5000k, I would like to be side by side with them. I'm not really mad, it looks quite good, but I wish it were slightly more white.

 

[azmp5]

What is this I hear about 626 brakes? (scratch)

first off, the 626 brakes are the same as the msp brakes..

if you want to further upgrade your brakes over the msp brakes, use the mazda 6 or mazdaspeed 6 brakes.(calipers, pads, rotors) keep in mind, only for 17" wheel.. i think ONE of the possibilities has a 16" wheel in use.
