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.

Doug,
As a show car ... I LOVE it! I even like the color!
However, I hope you don't track the car much or drive it hard on the street. I wouldn't expect these to work well at all with ABS or EBD, and it sounds like they will easily over power any OEM width tire with very little pedal effort (based on your initial performance impression). Those two combined make for a pretty significant safety issue.

I dont track the car, but one of these days I wanna see what it can do. As for driving the car on the street. If you ask my friends I drive it as hard as I can. The car is daily driven and not a trailer queen like some others. So far as how the BBK are I'm very happy with them. When you tap it, its a little soft at first, but when you step on it. WOW. It hurts.
BTW, how much difference is there in weight between the new and old rotors?
