Hi All,

Just installed my new brake kit this past weekend and wow what a difference! The new kit weighs in at 10 pounds while the oem weighs in at 25 pounds per side. I have just shed 30 pounds of unsprung weight! The steering feel is so much nicer and what a difference! Did I mention these are four piston calipers?

Special thanks to Sherwin (Docofmind) owner of Brake Zone for his excellent service, customer support and direction. Saved my life on Superbowl Sunday, an Altima pulled out right in front of me while suzukablus2k and webestore were behind me. Stopped on a dime as Webestore blew by me to miss the ubrupt stop and Suzukablus2k had enough time to stop without rearending me. Whew!

Thanks again Sherwin!

Duc

Yes they are a perfect fit with no spacers required! They retail at $1,450. I have been talking to him for a GB. Will there be any interest?

Yo Duc, are you sure they're four piston calipers? I only see indentions for two... anyways, it looks very nice, those slotted rotors are immaculate! They make my rusty OEM ones look like kaka...

Yup, two per side. Oem's have only one on one side and none on the other.
