The pictures are nice and all, but how about the actual results? How does it perform? Any difference?

braking is much more responsive and much more even. not as much nose dive when braking hard.

nice pictures, aren't the extended studs so you can put slicks and stuff on with out a problem? iunno, doesn't look bad though.

Gotta perform better, and is a hell of alot easier to change your breaks when the time comes.
