Well, guy's this is my opinion on the swap. The brake feel is phenomenal now. The install isn't what I would consider painless though, at least not for me with my wheels (Joe Gibbs). I had to bevel the edges of the front calipers quite a bit to get them to clear my wheels. I'm very happy with the outcome, but I would still have to recommend a full brake kit from someone instead of piecing together stuff, if you want a serious big brake set-up. Using the 14" rotors there is about a 1/2" of unused brake pad. The front calipers are begging for a 15" rotor, but so far no one has found an affordable 15" front rotor yet. And to clear something up on the fitment, clearances should be checked, as with any big brake upgrade. Most folks have not had a fitment issue. Every wheel is different, as we all know. The caliper brackets are very well built, I couldn’t have expected anything nicer. But with the supplier building the brackets on the side, don’t plan on ordering them one day and getting them the next day. It took two months to receive mine.

Baer, Brembo, Wilwood, Stoptech, etc... none of those companies include hydroboost in their setups. This is just a MUCH cheaper alternative!
