look what ups delivered
just a bbk
i shouldnt of had the flash on the camera on.......these calipers are really red. these thing stop on a dime and there is no noise at all.ive heard of some bad things about the hawk pads but these seem real nice.
i only have about 500 miles but so far so good.i wish this was spring time so i could put my summer tires back on cause the stock 17,s with winter tires dont show much.

Just wondering why you didn't spend the bit extra and get the front 6 pot and the rear 4 pot?

It's the number of pistons in the calipers. You see on the fronts, there are two circle shapes on each side of the calipers. That means they are 4-piston, or '4-pot'
The rears have only 1 piston on each side of each cailper, therefore being '2-pot' in the rear.

ive been in the auto repair business for 29 years and believe me you need the dust boots for the street,unless you like rebuilding your calipers twice a year.

Maybe RB slots their rotors opposite most other manufacturers OR you have your rotors on the wrong sides. You have directional vanes that will only pump half the air when installed on the opposite sides (The vanes should be angled toward the rear). Probably won't matter for winter & DD, but you'd better check that before going to a track day.
