Default That's a pretty comprehensive upgrade- Pads, rotors, fluids and lines covers just about (m)

everything- The only way you can go further is to upgrade to a BBK or S4 brakes, both of which tend to be more costly and complicated. For a street or even an autocross setup, this package looks pretty good to me.

Default It appears to be amoderate upgrade. It has the cross drilled rotors

which are most likely a direct size replacement for stock since this offer doesn't include calipers. The rear disc appears to still be non-ventilated though. Braded brake lines will have less flex and a firmer pedal feel. For that price it's good if you aren't considering a full upgrade, then it coud suit.

What's a typical cost to install? Does this really decrease stopping distance or just brake fade?

Default That's true, although you'll probably feel like the car stops better since the pads will (m)

probably bite more aggressively and the stainless lines will give you better pedal feel.
