Did you do the work yourself? It may be a little early, but how do you like that setup so far?

Apparently you can't link directly to the rotors page so you have to choose "brake rotors" on the left where it says "start here". I got the "1-piece OE-style " with the Hawk ceramic pads.
@johnrando
I just ordered them today but I will be doing the work myself. Brake jobs are actually pretty easy and straightforward. It will take me longer to clean the rims while they're off than the actual brake work.
The stainless steel lines will firm up the pedal and it will feel like the brakes have more initial bite so it will be impossible to tell how much of that effect is from the lines and from the pads.

That is lol, it just seemed like this thread has been here so I was thinking they were installed.

Finally got all the parts Friday and did the install Sat. So far... meh.
It was an easy job and I didn't run into any problems with the install but they feel mushy and I'm certain I need to re-bleed them. I had borrowed a friends power bleeder and this was my first and probably last time using one. When pressurized to the max recommended - 20psi, the brake fluid just trickles out of the rears. This probably wouldn't have been an issue but I installed new brake lines a the same time, and the lines have a good 6-7" vertical drop to the calipers. As slow as the brake fluid was bleeding out I'm certain air was running back up and staying in the lines. I'll do them again the old fashioned way in a couple of days when I can elicit some help. As it is now the pedal will go halfway to the floor at the point the ABS comes on so I'm not worried about it's just not at all what I was expecting.
