How much research did you do before purchasing this? I've been talking to people and they say replacing parts on this will be the end of you

Besides pads, the rest of it should last a long time. If worries, buy a couple sets of pads for future.

I've read all the threads on msf and m247. As much info as there is. There was an instruction error that caused quite a bit of alarm but that's been worked out. Guys like Haltech on msf have got kits and expressed complete confidence so I'm fairly confident taking the chance at this point. I'll be sure to hammer on them on back roads a bit before I head out ok the hwy tho ;)

And completed!

About to go out and bed the pads in now... Will report back!

[DLYDRVN]

I seriously have no idea why these are showing up upside down...

Nice!

Curious to hear some on-the-road feedback for how they feel.

[Kiyomi]

would you be willing to give me a ride along/brake test to see the diff from stock?

looks awesome.

A better shot of how they look on the car.

Ok, so i was driving around today doing errands and such after bedding in the brakes. Nothing too heavy (didn't want the LCBO box to get damaged or anything..)

First impressions:

Pedal travel before braking feels 'engaged' is far greater. (I think this was discussed being a predicted effect of the larger piston area)

It feels like it doesn't really engage till about half-way down.

Once it engages- Buttery smooth. No noise, no roughness, no initial 'bite'. Engagement is super smooth and braking feels linear and very controllable. Pedal feel is very solid. Didn't have to panic stop or really hammer on it hard, but I did have to do a little bit of fancy braking on the 401 in traffic and it all felt very controlled and easy to modulate. Again, very linear.

Can't comment on dusting yet, but given how much my OEM brakes dusted, I'll know in a day or two :-\

I'm really excited to play with different pad compounds with these. I will say the overall 'feel' other than the pedal travel is very similar to OEM, just a bit smoother and more linear. I might go to a compound with a bit more initial bite.

I'll try and get them hot and bothered this weekend on the back roads and see how they feel. So far, quite happy!

Ok... I clearly can't win with these pictures... *facepalm*

Saw this car in person yesterday, looks great. I can't comment on anything other than the fact that the caliper looks like it's great quality and that the car stopped. :chuckle
