These brakes are a testament to the expression that there is no such thing as over-engineered brakes. Great choice.
Phenomenal outcome. Thank you for sharing!

Appreciate the feedback, the Brembos the thrust arms, the Kw's make the ride incredible!

$$$$ without a doubt. But this one deserved it.

I agree super smooth and rides amazing! Better than many of the big sedans in this decade.
