pads, rotors, caliper stiffening kit, and fluid are in and being abused as we speak. def. worth the upgrade and sweating your ass off at apex tuning!!! lol

Caliper stiffening kit Once you put it on did you notice any difference and what difference did you notice ?

honestly, hard to say because we did new pads and fluid as well, but for everything we did as a whole - day and night difference. the pedal is SOLID and has not vibration whatsoever and the car will stop and put your face on the windshield easily. braking response improved a ton, which i'm sure attributes to the stiffening kit. i'd recommend it in addition and/or in lieu of the stainless steel lines.

Yeah, I need new brakes on my dub...should I go with the hps and caliper stiffening kit??

[dekroon]

go with the hps and upgrade to larger tt brakes at the same time.
