Ok, I just finished installing the Project MU fronts and rears on my car. I DEFINITELY reccommend them for anyone looking to replace their brake pads. It took me about 3 hours b/c the main bolts that hold the calipers were a pain in the a$$ to take off, I believe they were torqued to 113 lbs/ft. I really do feel a difference. I barely tap on the breaks and they are already biting. I jerked forward a few times while driving around town b/c I wasn't used to the little pressure I can now use to come to a stop. Hopefully, these will cut down on the amout of brake dust that my Brembos caused.

why did you need to take off the main bolt for the calipers? You didn't need to do that. The pads should just slide in and out once pushed back.

I just installed my HAWK HPS pads today and painted my ugly a$$ gold Brembo calipers red! Damn it looks so sexy now!! And the pads could be better. NO SQUEAKING what so ever. I also recommond the Dupli color caliper paint. It goes on like silk!!

:smack head: Do they really? I tried but there just wasn't enough space and I was also having a hard time compressing them b/c they were up against the rotors. I'm going to remember that next time, that would've save me A LOT of time for sure. Thanks for letting me know.

I've heard mixed reviews on the HPS pads. I've heard lots of good reviews on the Project Mu pads. I have Endless pads and they have been awesome! Low dust compared to OEM, no noise, good bite, better stopping power as it heats up, and so far they seem to be rotor friendly.
