I'm very happy with the Racing Brake Rotors and Hawk Pads. There is almost no brake fade at all now. I do spirited driving sometimes and I noticed with my OEM setup that if I did a lot of hard braking, after awhile the brakes wouldn't stop as well as before. There was a lot of brake fade, especially if I was frequently braking hard. With the Racing Brake/HPS combo, I'm confident that I can stop better everytime now, regardless of how much/hard I've been using the brakes.
The only downfall is that there is less initial bite. I have to step on the pedal a little harder to stop. And also that there is a whole lot more brake dust. I dread cleaning my wheels sometimes because of all of the dust build up. And that's why I made sure to take as many pictures as I could of my wheels while they are clean. lol

TSXinTN: I went with different tint because Cali actually only allows up to 70% tint on the fronts. I went with 50% because you can barely see 70%. If I could do it again, I would maybe go 35% in the back. I still like my tint though.
I just vented my fog light cover, so I probably won't get foglights. Also, I drive mostly on the freeway, and I've read about everyone else having problems with cracking. Cracks kill

So they are worth the risk - IMO.
