Default Brembo BBK - pics included

I got my kit last week and finally had a chance to put them on today. the install is VERY straight forward, just need to be carefull what comes in contact with the brake fluid - I kept a bucket of soapy water nearby to wipe things down.

Anyways, I just had a chance to bed them in, and they feel great. Even under moderate conditions, the stockers would fade. These feel great even after repeated stops. I will try to make it out to a road course to put them through a little more stress.

I have an enthusiast model and am in the process of getting a set of OEM rear brembo calipers. I have brembor slotted rotors and SS lines for the rears already, just need to get the rears to finish the setup/

these are the Brembo GT 14" 4 pot slotted front BBK.

No, the rears will be painted black with white brembo lettering. the paint will hold fine.

I can't say exactly where or how much I paid for these, but I can say Tirerack has some on closeout right now for about 2600 bucks
