there the PVD ones, with greenstuff pads, drilled & grooved tar-ox discs, respond well & certainly do stop the car better - pedal was a bit spongy to start but when bled in proper & used with braided hoses there allrite!

not fittin 18's on me car keepin 15's, best handlin & for gettin power down

when paired with braided hoses front & rear, there definately worth the money, but just remember to run them in gently or they will warp like any other new discs!

PaulW: doesn't the wheel rim hit or rattle against the brake caliper when you go over bumps?

Just it looks very close!
