those look GREAT Mike, i actually signed up for the discount on those BUT ended up picking up some Brembo's for cheap for my Wife instead. really glad these finally came out, either way. congrats on the pick up, i'm sure you'll actually get some use out of these Vs. the folks that picked 'em up for looks.

I weighed the RB and OEM prior to install - the weight savings claimed by Racing Break is spot on. Since I drove home with the pig heavy OEM in the trunk (with some other stuff) it's a little hard to tell if there are acceleration gains... I'll know better when I have time to play with the car and maybe get to the track.. they do look a helluvalot better than the fugly OEM though

I'll do a full review a little later...
The OEMers are tanks Some good weight savings I'm sure. Now go bed those pads into them rotors

Yeah, 10's.
