It's a cat-back from FocusSport I did not want a "Fart Can" type of style and I wanted it quiet , I like the clean looking it gives ( I don't care about the performance ) and the stock exhaust has also a big thing hanging under the rear bumper and I think it's ugly..

Isn't new rotors with old pads a no-no?

I like the way that tip looks on the exaust. Did you know your back rim is bent a little?.

I have done that more then once . If you replace rotors and they are in a very bad shape with groves etc. the pads will have scars so yes you have replace them to but mine were intact , just drive the first miles like you should do with new pads and they will sit perfectly like new ones .

Yeah I know , 17" with low profile + the road in Quebec = chance to bend rims.. :(


I hit a put hole last summer and I exploded the front right mag... :angry:










I had 17" on my previous car but I never has issues with bending rims , I had 17X9 with 275/40-17 and the rear I had 17X10.5 with a 315/35-17 so the side walls where thicker and the ride was a lot smoother , I never had 17" on a smaller car , I know now you have to pay a lot more attention to putholes. I also bought the car used and they were probaly bent at a few places but never really paid attention.


With my previous car mags were not bending but tires were melting so it was a different problem.. ;)

Holy that is one mashed up rim, I don't think I've ever seen a rim come apart like that before. Can you post pics of your current rims I sorta seen on in the back ground and they looked nice.

Yeah they're pretty good rotors for the cost... i bought my cross-drilled Brembo rotors off them a few years back and have had no problems with them. I also mated them with some Axxis ceramic pads. I've had to do some hard braking too, and absolutely no problems

Nice looking ride btw!! keep up the good work!
