There well made and I like them. The only thing I don't like is the banjo bolt. If your not careful you can snap it in half like I did. They need to be carefully torqued down. I used a huge torque wrench. big no no.

I have the Goodrich SS lines and they are a nice part. The only negative thing would be they don't have the "blocks" on the end of the lines to keep them from turning when tightening up the banjo bolts. You have to turn the brake lines far back and then when you tighten the bolts up they end up in the right spot.

As for brake feel they are more firm, but I did new Hawk pads and rotors from Rotorpros at the same time.

Looks great. I think new pads and rotors are next up for me. I think I can pitch them to the wife as a safety measure

Maybe you should take advantage of the forum Group Buy that D'Agostino Racing has going on this month - http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...65#post5555465

I have to say that working with Page at Stillen has been a real pleasure customer service is first rate. I would highly recommend the GB to everyone considering this upgrade.
