Yes. But I think you can find it at your local autoparts shop for cheaper, I don't remember paying that much for it at AutoZone

Pleasure helping you out with the parts and little advise, glad to see it all come together! How about a review on what the difference feels like (pedal feel, etc) after maybe a few hundred miles as a follow up/update? We'll look forward to it - should be relavent since you are using the same pads as you were on the stock calipers, If I am not mistaken.

so i finally found time to actually go on that fun drive i like to take. it feels very solid and reliable. if anything, i don't have to apply as much braking but rather just a light tap.

also got a chance to go from 75-0 in roughly 150-200 feet and again, it was outstanding. i had a smile on my face after i decided to stop last second. im sure the 6pot BBK has a greater bite but for something that you can swap OEM pads with, is pretty nice.

BTW, i never swapped pads from when i used oem. this is from swapping to Stoptech steel lines and Spoon calipers. same type of fluid, same exact pads used from my OEM calipers.

only other person who really drove my car, without supervision

, was glenn and he said he liked the pedal feel as well.
