Figured I'd share the small changes I made to my s4 today, most you guys have already seen but hey, who doesn't like some new pics? =p I have HR springs coming in next week and a set of AG M590s on PSS rubber, so Ill update this thread with pics once I get those on. The color combo I went with is going to look amazing I'm hoping and looking forward to seeing what everyone thinks :)

ECS Slotted Rotors, with Akebono ceramic pads, bled the brake fluid as well, the rotor n pad combo is amazing, no dust at all so far, driven over 300 km now still clean. no noise at all either. did the heat and twist method for the shift knob, took my time with it made sure it was straight and sanded down the hole and greased it up like crazy before popping the new one on, had no issues at all, worked first shot and the trigger pulls in and out no problem. (thank god, I was so worried about it locking). as for the pedals, they weren't too hard, the gas pedal is a serious pain though, still not on 100% but can't even tell or feel the difference, ill get back to it eventually and tried to get it on 100%. for now looks and works great!

Shift knob is a huge improvement. The old one looks like it's from a Toyota Corola

How hard was it to get the dead pedal swapped?

honestly the gas pedal is the worst, still not fully on, but with that being said, I haven't tried to heat it up or grease it, so hopefully that'll work. but its on for the most part and can't notice the difference or feel it so I'm happy for now.

as for the dead pedal, getting the original one off was a bit harder, you'll most likely break one of the clips, it just needs force. use a flat head screw driver to pry it out and push down on the top clip and it'll pop out, then just slide it out of the left side panel. putting on the new dead pedal wasn't hard at all, start with the left side panel , pop it in use the flat head to squeeze it under the left side plastic panel and slide it into place, then push down on the dead pedal and you'll hear it pop into place no problem.

europrice, alex hooked it up. get it from him, he has the newer versions that have the plastic switch inside the boot where the knob connects, so u don't even have to use a zip tie or anything to lock it into place once u put the new knob on. just twist the switch and it locks in. i know previous posts about this mod people had lots of issues with the new knob's trigger getting stuck, but the new shift knobs that europrice has are different and it works flawlessly first try,

more pics coming, got the red start button coming in this week and springs, can't wait to post pics of the exterior
