I completely Disagree!!! I changed my brake fluid to super blue DOT4 and took the car to lil tally which is notorious for killing brakes and these brakes were phenomenal!!! I mean I was 4th gear 105mph and waitng til the 2nd to last cone to brake and the car would stop on a dime!!!! I mean my passengers were commenting on how they were gonna have bruises from the seat belt it stopped so hard.

The brakes are amazing I cant wait to see what the aftermarket ones can do!
