They really do stop VERY quick, pedal gets a fair bit of travel but when they do kick in be prepared for anything in the back to come flying at you!

I wouldn't say they were THAT good.

The pedal travel that V6 calipers give off is shit,turbo calipers are far far better.

Turbo brakes are noticeably better.

I had turbo calipers with braided hoses all round. Noticed no difference in pedal feel.
