Gotcha, no worries then. Yours are much nicer than the ones that came with mine anyways.

^^Awesome. Bear make one of the best braking systems out there. Money well spent.

^^Very true.
And yes, they make the car look 100% better. I think when it comes time for brakes, I may get the same set-up, or something similar.
