Look nice & cool is not good enough... Hope it be able to stop in time. I took this caliper from a Porsche 6 pots.

For the time been it is good for daily used. As it can reduce speed from ~ 100mph to stop in very fast or as I want ti to be. Next is to test if it can brake later in 100m before corner for the S204.

BTW, the brake pad is ~ 20% larger then the stock STI pads.

the larger pad helps with heat dissapation.

I agree they look badass but was it worth the coin?

your car your choice.
