True, but your going to be hard pressed to fade well maintained brakes on the street, I hardly even fade my brakes on the track when I have the right pads a good fluid in the system.

If your doing a big break upgrade for looks that is no big deal, if you are doing it for more stopping power, I always say be sure you need it before you spend tones of money... but thats just me .

And yes the SSBC calipers look pretty crappy.

and for the record, it's brakes.

That is another, uhm, "unique" looking caliper, as well as some pretty funky rotors... :eek3: Are they even for cars?

Honestly, if you're going to upgrade something important as brakes, cut the crap. Get the PROVEN quality upgrades: BREMBO (dare I say #1 brake manufacturer in the world?), Stoptech, Rotora (D1 Sponsors), and even FastBrakes.
