    My rims are a little dirty but I do love the look. I can't wait to actually try these out on a good road. I might have to hit the Devils triangle again tomorrow.

    can you guys test them at high speed to see if you get vibrations under heavy braking (at like 140mph)

    I can do it after I get an alignment. Plan to get one this week.

    Cheers,
    if I beat on my K sport kit it seems to get vibrations through the caliper, as far as I can tell it's not due to balance issues as it's not just if your at high speed, it's if your at high speed and hard on the brakes, so my theory is that it's due to the slots on the rotor.

    Interesting, I should have an alignment this week so I’ll give the fast run a try.

    I jumped hard on mine yesterday and they felt good (I wasn’t going 140 though) but when I pulled in at the store they started squealing a little bit. I’m assuming I glazed them a little because they quit after a few minutes.

    Nice brakes. It would be really nice if they put Mitsubishi on the caliper or nothing though since XYZ sounds like its not a quality product to me even though it looks just like the big name stuff. But the Stoptech is $2400 in the same size with 4 piston so its really a no-brainer to me if its made good. Wish I could have jumped on this.

    I think I'm going machine the logo off and put my own logo on.....Maybe ABM, lol. If more people were interested, I could have had then rebranded with any logo I wanted, but there was no way enough people would have jumped on.
