RE: New Brakes
157 constantly proves that he is ignorant.
Drilled rotors are bad news in STOCK SIZES. In an upgraded application they offset the weight of the increased rotating mass of thelarger disc. The larger discs don't heat up near as fast as the stockers.
The Baer kit uses twin piston calipers that aren't really any better than our stockers. I personally would have gone with the rotors and adaptor plates for the oem calipers. They look nice - i'm just not a blingy kind of guy, especially for that kind of cost.

Some people just don't like anything. I guess the age old addage applies. "Opinions are like a-holes, everyone has one, and nobody wants to hear em'" As long as you are happy with them that's all that matters, they look great and they perform well...nuf said!
