Is this just the front's? Does AP make the rear's? What kind of brake pads does it come with? Thanks

yes, I have the rears... mintex xtreme pads come with the kit

Travisjb, this kit looks amazing thanks for your impression! Once I've out grown my oem Akebono's these are the brake kits I want to upgrade to.

A couple of things to note. Doing this again I would not upgrade to these as track brakes without a cooling solution. AP rotors are expensive so you don't want to be damaging rotors by overheating them (like me!). The front 6-pot calipers have dust seals, and these seals will be destroyed after the first good track day. The rear calipers do not have dust seals. Cooling will save your dust boots and rotors. Track pads are also a little more expensive with this kit so factor that in as well (they are also slightly larger).

ChrisSlicks, thanks for your insight I'll consider those factors you've mentioned.

Yes, It is very good to know. Thanks ChrisSlicks!
