Just noticed they have them on the website again. Did you guys confirm that they come with boots and anti rattle clips?

Has anyone considered having these anodized?

I think they would look very nice anodized in black but I suppose you would have to remove the dust boots at least (not sure about the bolts).

After a few months of running these I love them. You do need to get some heat into them before they work properly. On my first track day with these I went into T1 at LRP pretty hot and went for the brake pedal and had no brakes. I was like oh shit that's right new brakes! Once I got them up to temp they were phenomenal.

They definitely dust more than stock brakes on the street. I'm just running ST street pads but they definitely dust. I ran ST street pads on my stock calipers and I don't remember them dusting this bad. Oh well I still love em. What is everyone else's experience with dusting?

How do you feel about driving around town with these? Do they squel a lot? What would you say the pro/con is between having this front setup vs the stock setup. I don't know a ton about brake kits so i am trying to educate myself more before making the investment!

Thanks!

They're great on the street. I got these for track but I like to drive my car on the street too. I'll give pros and cons

Pros
Great on the track (meaning very consistent and crazy stopping power when hot. Very confidence inspiring)
Look awesome
Excellent conversation piece
Easy install
Stoptech has very good customer service
Ease of pad changes

Cons
Long pedal when cold (stock brakes have much more cold bite)
Squeal some but very minor. not bad at all
Dust more than stock

Overall I love them and think they're a perfect combo for street/track
