and the rotors said left and right on them......
and instigator is right, the benifits are better then stock, but not on the level of a true BBK.
but unless you are tracking your car you really dont need a true BBK, unless you want to......daily driving really wont demand those benifits.

Good thing you found out about it. It looks good, but considering the price for what you get, I'd probably go with something different. Did you read the latest Sport Compact Car issue? There's an article in there about this kit... unfortunately, 6 of the 10 times they tested, they got worse braking distances....

ya i read it too..


but you cant really compare because they did a
stock rotor stock pad
vs
big rotor EBC pads

if they used stock pads, then they can do a proper comparsion.... but i am happy with my big rotors. it stays WAY cooler and hit the mtn roads and track a lot so i need all the braking cooling i can get!

they also say in the article half the stuff we do to our cars is not needed, and that even a full BBK is a waste of money unless your car is a dedicated track car.
For the money i think its worth it. It works for me, it may not work for you......
