i have hawk HPS brake pads and i love them, id recommend them for spirited driving

 

monroe is the largest suspension company in europe so that goes to show something.... but ill be honest i have monroe on my chevy and they blew prematurely. Lovin the KYB's on the R50

Agreed, go KYB for struts. They are hands down the best option for front suspension.

 

As for bumpers, TJM if you're lucky enough to find one... Otherwise it'd have to be a custom job.

What he means is TJM used to make bull bars for your truck, but they stopped building them several years ago, and the only ones in the US now are probably installed on trucks. So, if you want a bull bar now, talk to your local welding/fabrication shop or take your chances with the known-not-so-good quality of Kennesaw Mountain Accessories bull bars (link).

I'm not sure of the quality of the KMA bumpers; they look pretty tough and I'd assume could take a good beating. Also, the numerous customization options are great. For me, the only downside is being all the way up in Canada...

Exchange rate + customs/duty + shipping =

No go for me unless I had money coming out my butt...

And besides, if you can find someone to custom fab something for you, it's a good opportunity to design something unique to your rig and yours alone!
