So Ive been looking for braking upgrades because as many of you have probably experienced, this summers heat wasn't to light on us and im from Georgia and i drive a lot so temperatures were bound to rise as i drove around for awhile. I was going to buy a used set of brembos but after reading how the oem brakes are fairly similar the $600 ticket didn't seem worth it for a little better braking when its currently more than exceptional. Alas I decided to get drilled and slotted rotors and high grade ceramic pads. I did it on a budget and decided to see how the Callahan set would do. You can find the full set on ebay or Amazon for less about $220. It seemed to good to be true but I bit the bullet and ordered anyway. I've since put about 3k miles on them and yes I did the break in procedure and they have been amazing. It may be in my head but the response is so much better and instant. The only cons I had which was bound to come with a kit so cheap, 1) one of the rotors, the stud holes were to small so we had to machine them wider. 2)the rear brake pads were the wrong size. I ordered powerstops overnight and threw them on and they fit perfectly. Other than that the rotors do a superb job of cooling down and I haven't had any brake dust. My next upgrade would be steel brake lines.
