And here I am pulling hair out on whether or not I should get one or the other body kit because of 200$ difference

Winner Power huh? Everything I read about them was bad. Apparently they are poorly made in Taiwan and the calipers tned to flex when they get heated. For 10k you could have got a far more reputable brand. I know for a fact that Rotora makes a 12 piston kit for around the same price, maybe even cheaper.

Why don't you just kick him in the sack and be done with it?

I hope you know that Rotora is designed in Taiwan and made in China where the quality control is much worse. Even half the parts you have listed in your signature is subcontracted out to factories in Taiwan and stamped different brands. WP Pro quality is pretty good for what it is, but it's just not well known since it's among SAABs.

Nice try being smart. This is why Club-Lexus 2Generation IS still has a bad rep because there's people like you trying to be smart for no reason.

Gee. You got me. They are also well known in the Volvo community, but that doesn't make them good quality. By the way, the only thing in my sig made in china is my Seibon hood. So, I guess you failed at your attempt to be smart too.

Absolutely incredible. I was actually expecting to see more area where the brake pad meets the rotor, but what the hell do I know!!
