Yep, go ring Unique Auto Sports in Seven Hills & speak to John.
He'll sort you the HSV combo if you've got $1600 spare....

The GPX brake calipers are the same as Evo I to III.. So just update to slotted rotors.. Unless you need the extra stopping for the track.. But Aza does fine with his..
I just had to add it ......

Lol.. Go check out my cardomain page for my custom install in the Sonata with the Evo engine..fto-007 wrote:yeah mines a little heavier with the 300kgs of stereo
Www.cardomain.com/id/rock_it
Sonata was heavier then the FTO.. The stereo was full of MDF, TV's, DVD and a truck battery in the boot too..
