BBK - 332x28 4 piston, axxis ultimate pads w/ goodrich stainless lines all the way around.

I scratched a wheel at the end of summer just before I powdercoated my stock wheels. I toyed with repairing or replacing the wheel which would have been $200 or $300 respectively. I ended up fixing it myself with a file and some sandpaper and having the whole set dismounted, coated, mounted and balanced for $246.

I like the change, just for the sake of doing something different.

brake feel is much improved, but I haven't had much chance to really test them out yet. The car feels a little faster with them. The BBK is quite a bit lighter than the stock brakes.
