BTW ... $4,040 on the Stillen site for both kits. What sort of deal would be do-able do you think? pm's ok for sure. A few questions for the thread though ... apologies if some are answered already.
a) how well do they work with the ABS system? Any issues?
b) will they fit without spacers on the stock 19" sport wheels (suspension is stock, except some sway bar upgrades coming)?
c) any feedback on the front/rear balance on a stock system? Don't want to be lengthening my stopping distance over the stock brakes ...
d) are any other upgrades required to the rest of the braking system to run these?

Thanks!

a) No issues with ABS. If you are at a track that triggers the dreaded "ice mode", the AP upgrade will not make matters worse. Some have reported a reduction in this occurrence, but none have reported the kits making it worse.
b) They fit the OE Sport 19" (Rays) wheels without a spacer.
c) Front/rear balance is optimized for maximum deceleration at all four wheels while retaining driveability.
d) Only other upgrade part needed is "the nut behind the wheel". In other words, track time and driver training. These brakes will allow you to make a better driver out of yourself, but they are not a magic bullet. Only time behind the wheel with qualified instruction will get you to the next level.
