Got Stoptechs + Flex installed on my 05 coupe
14" Stoptech kit and Tein Flex + EDFC, purchased from Avalon Racing. In the process of mounting the EDFC in the ashtray, so I don't have pics of that yet.
Flex are a bit harder than stock, but running them at 14 front and rear gives an acceptable ride. Before the EDFC was hooked up they were at full hard for a couple of days - it would make my back hurt after a little while. Height settings are what's recommended from the Tein installation instructions.
Brakes are good, need temperature to work well though. Come off the freeway and the first couple of brake applications are a little weak, when they warm up they feel much better. I'm using the included pad (Axxis Ultimates front, OEM Porsche in the rear).

Your car looks great. Thanks for the purchase!
I can't really tell from the pics, but make sure the pads are properly bedded-in for cold performance. They will have more bite if you have a layer of pad laid down for them to bite into. Here's the bed-in procedure:

Thanks for the tip, I had those babies smoking and blue during bed-in. 3 series of 10 stops apiece. I think they just cool down to ambient when on the freeway, then after 1 or 2 stops they have lots of bite again.
Very nice selection. I don't notice any cold brakes problems with my 14" Stoptechs with the Axis in front and OE Porsche in the rear just like you have. Neither are race pads or should need exces heat in them to perform well. I love the setup. Very similar to mine but I have GT-7 instead of GT-C.
