How do you like them? ALOT better than stock?

I can get take-off ones for a reasonable price. How much should install run on these, or how hard is it to do?

I do drive over 100mph on a daily basis, and would like some nice stopping power, will this do it?

Will they clear cruizin concepts fr500s? Specs:
Size: 18X9 Pattern: 5x4.5 Offset: 36

You'll love the new brakes. They added alot in terms of braking but they weight alot. The car felt different when cornering. I'll post pics if you want.

I don't think they provide much greater stopping ability however i heard they will last longer without fade. Pair them with stainless lines, dot4, good pads, and some brake vents and I think you will be satisfied.

They are definitely one of brembo's cheaper series of caliper

i have them and i love them....install was cake, nothing different than installing any other calipers....and i feel the stopping power is much improved....however i dont know if they will fit your wheels....i believe they need a 45mm offset to fit

+1 I don't know if they will fit either, but they do help. I installed these myself (my first time) and it was pretty straight forward. Use the following directions to help you out.
