I have it, it works, bolts up nicely, stands up to track use but could still use ducts for cooling

Re: brakes

what do you guys think about them? would you have gone with stoptechs or brembos if you had to do it all over again?

I love mine, quite an impovement over the stockers.......

They are made by brembo. I thought about Stoptech's but for the money, the ECS kit offered more and I'm not the kind of guy who takes the car to the track every weekend, just wanted a noticable improvement. They are easy to install and really work well. The only thing I recommend is getting a pad other than the Mintex reds. Mine have a squealing problem that was eventually fixed by using some silicone brake lubricant on the backs of the pads. You might want to check out some other pad options. Good luck
