I certainly am not trying to slander your brand and am willing to accept that it was an anomaly or that things have improved - if you want to keep discussing this, send me a PM - heck, I'd be more than willing to work something out with your company and the local vendor to (at my shared expense) document / photograph / asses a pair and give an honest assessment of fitment, build quality, install ease/difficulties or clarity of instructions (I agree - after checking out the online install guides you guys DO have a winner there). I work at a shop who has done a number of brake kits, very few were Brembo or Stoptech actually, many of our customers choose Wilwood or AP but I'm open to options... I'm obviously a little biased since I have two cars sporting Brembos (both which had them stock, the 951 I put bigger Brembos on since... well, it's stock fitment and an easier swap) - but I'm not brand loyal so much as performance-loyal.

I only wish there was a BBK that fit under 17s for year-round use...

Well, since you guys banned Love, I feel the need to pick up the argument in his place.
You guys are great big doody heads.
I find that the BBK on my brother's Enzo is far Superior to yours. He actually upgraded from the stockers. What I do is hit the gym 5 days a week only doing squats. I have some size 12 (that's right, I'm packin) Nike Shox and a new hole in the floorboard. I call this method FlintShox.
Oh yea, I almost forgot. Please don't ban me.
