Upgraded front rotors (slotted), pads and went to steel line. Rears (thanks again Hide!) for next weekend when my brother has time again.
Pleasantly yet annoyingly, the best mod today cost nothing and only took about 30 seconds: tightening my throttle cable.
Pedal feels better, car gets up and goes faster, shifts more pleasantly... I highly recommend at least checking it. Proper spec is about half an inch of slack, as pressed by your finger, before the throttle rotor starts turning.
What this will do to my mileage remains to be seen...

Hit a truck tire on the freeway doing 85. Ripped the driver side inner plastics and who knows what else because it was dark out and stuck at work so I haven't had the chance to investigate more

Would it be fine if I stay below 4k? I'm not boostin it all all. I was told if I go back to the stock map my egt sensor will throw a code since I'm on a catless up pipe now.
I dont have an AP. I've got a tactrix cable though but have never flashed a car. My buddy did mine for me a while back
