How lame would I look with OEM Brembo's rears and Stoptech up front? Has that been done before? OP, looks good, but please drop it!

ncparamedic, it's actually the 4-pot/2-pot kit.
+1 - the rear looks like its jacked-up more than normal

Thanks man! Uh, I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know which pads I got in the kit. I think they were Axxis street performance pads.

My guess is that they are Axxis Ultimates (that is what came with my Stoptechs). Hope they work out OK for you. Mine feel great but they are now so noisy, the whole neighborhood knows when I am coming and going

Looking sweet!!! I think you know same kit I want. Question: What size & offsets are your wheels? Any clearance issues? I think my Works won't work with the kit.

Have you bedded your brakes?

Check this link out from Stoptech. It gives the procedure for properly beding in your breaks.

Hope this helps.

Yes - twice!!!!! From reading other posts, I just think it is a VERY common problem with these pads. I would never get them again and may even change them out if this gets any worse.

Thanks! I'm just not understanding the mathmatics behind all of this. I'll figure it out though.
