Just got some Carbon Metalic brake pads and now I am hooked on road racing!!!!!!

I got some Hawk brake pads and WOW, they stop ALOT better now. Thats all that I have done to the suspension. Its a 92 RS V6 so its not all that in performance but it seems to handle rather well. So I plan on making it into a Auto-X car. Anyways I was hoping you guys could give me some helpful tips on making it handle better. Like brand names of shocks, springs, arms, etc... What should I do next? Steel brake lines? I was told that those make alot of difference. Any ideas????

Monkie, what line of Hawk pads did you get. I heard that there are about three or four different lines of pads that they sell.

Later,

Did you get them from Jegs or somewhere else, 'cause jegs wants about $40.

Thanks,
Jesse
