D2 is a Taiwanese brand, so my concern would be reliability and getting replacement pads. They *look* nice, but how they perform over years is unknown. Also, 6 pistion is overkill.

For that price, I would look into more well known brand like Spoon. Or for about $800 you can get a Wilwood kit which are made in the USA ~ it's nice to pick up the phone and have a tech person available.

Probably not very good, as some other members have pointed out. They look to be built for looks rather than performance.

I know a guy who's selling a Wilwood BBK kit for a 7thgen that works (and looks) damn nice. Can't beat the product support of a US company, too.

I'd look at Wilwood, Stoptech, Rotora or Brembo first.

Dude... youve posted this in like 3 different subforums. Just because you haven't gotten the answer you are looking for, doesn't mean that you should keep reposting.

Edit: Jesus christ you spammed this same ****ing thread in 7 different subforums

I have D2 coilovers and love them.

I like D2 parts I wouldn't mind the brakes but seems a little expensive for my taste
