yes, its also higly unworth it. the stopping power of those v6 brakes is more than enough. you have too peel you face off the windscreen with them anyway.

i recommend getting the v6 brakes from vtuning for 200 quid, then spending another 40 quid on braided hoses, then 10 quid on dot 5 brake fluid. that lot will stop you so fast, infact it works so well you have to be careful not locking the wheels up too often, heard people say they can lock the fronts at 100mph there that good, cant wait to fit mine on.
