i'm not a fan of the reflective letters, i noticed that after i took some flash photos while it was getting installed. i'll take some without flash and see how those come out.

did you notice any manufacturing stamping or labeling with the calipers? curious what company Megan went with for the caliper sourcing....look a lot like the new brembo designs.

i'm curious myself. for the source the only lead i was able to find was that they were manufactured in Taiwan. i have not looked through the little paperwork that came with them yet since i was in a rush to get them installed for the car show/meet on saturday. As i understand there are not that many caliper manufacturers out there, most big companies out source their manufacturing to a few companies. is that correct? the fact that taiwan is the origin, it might be in the same place were Baer gets their calipers. i'm just making a speculation here. As far as anything on the caliper, i did not find anything on them.

I was following that megan GB but decided not to go in after scott was banned.

Why are your rotors diff. than all of Scotts and other pics? I've never seen slots like that on any BBK rotor.

i didn't have time to ask. even the guys from 350z (houteeng) his rotors are slotted in the traditional way. These are not uncommon, i have seen this type of slotting on other rotors. What i don't know is, how effective is it at dissipating the heat slotted in this manner. I think the arizona Z car kit is slotted in opposite ways like this / and also like this \ along the same rotor. So maybe one of the brake experts here can chime in on that.

So do you or the others that went for these, have any complaints about the brakes or any issues, other than the reflective decals

Things like squeling, pad knock back, spongy pedal, weird vibrations, grabbyness, etc.?

they definitely squeal, mostly at low speeds and very grabby. i'm still getting used to the difference from my oem ones.

Did you do a full break in?

I use the Stoptech one for all my brake kits.
