Do you notice much difference in stopping power vs stock?
We had a couple of quick stops on I-95 yesterday rolling home and I can't say there is a huge difference in stopping power. But they sure felt good. So smooth compared to where I was with the stock. Hard to explain, but they feel like you would expect brakes to feel. My stock ones would really fade quickly especially in the NC mountains. I'll do a review after we get some miles on them
I think i know what you mean by smooth. My stock brakes feel almost gritty if that makes sense. So, if I understand what you mean, the grittiness is gone. I will likely need new front brakes sometime this year, so this is an interesting thread to me.

They look pretty awesome. Nice clean wheel too. I -hate- my black painted forks...
Did you do new pads as well..? I would think so, but I thought I'd ask. Did they do a good bleed/flush on the system as well?

Good choice.
Yes, new pads, rotors and titanium rotor bolts.
The fluid was not touched. I had just serviced the ABS front and rear about 7 months ago. It was not necessary for this project.
Thanks for the comments. I really like the look also. They work well with the style of wheels I have.
