Default 10th anniversary brakes?

I was thinking about replacing my brakes with the set from American Muscle:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/mach1-full-brake-kit.html
Anyone have any thoughts about it?
Good or bad?

Those are Mach 1/Bullit brakes.....Same as Cobra (including 10th anniv)


I dont think anyone can complain about them.. They are a decent upgrade from GT brakes, but its not going to impress you. They do look good behind some clean rims tho. I say go for it.

not gonna impress you? Im gonna have to disagree with that. they are no race brakes but they will certainly throw you forward.

compared to v6/GT brakes.. the cobra brakes are quite an improvement, especially with some good pads.

Butthurt much?.. all i did was mention your statement that they wont impress you, and provided some pysical numbers showing the difference to challenge your statement.

didnt know that stating some facts was "sackriding". maybe you should type things differently so ppl dont respond to what you say if your just gonna be a jackass about it.
