I bought the kit a few months ago, but we only got them on about 2 weeks ago. Well, that was on a Saturday and I went and sprained my ankle that Monday at work so I couldn't drive the car for 2 weeks. (that's one of the few times an auto is better than a stick..)

The brakes feel great! We only did the fronts this time around, but when I get the gears done I'll upgrade the rears too. The new master cylinder kept the pedal like stock but when you really dip into the pedal, the brakes are sooo much nicer than the stocker 94 brakes!

I don't have many pics, but here's one. I like how they look in motion and yes, they cleared the cop car wheels but by the smallest amount. I have 2-3mm of space between the face of the caliper and the back of the wheel. It will increase as the pads wear, but it doesn't appear to hit anywhere at all.

Click to expand...

The kit and the adapter lines from Maximum Motorsports rang in about $540. Not terrible.

Yeah that's not too bad. Besides they're brakes, your life kinda rides on em.
