I haven't found a shop I trust in Fresno, so the drive is well worth it for me to know the job will get done right.

Thanks for the props, guys!

I definitely notice a more responsive brake feel, but not sure if it's more due to the steel lines or bbk. I did some 60-0 runs back to back and noticed no fading.

They are OEM, tommy. Those are painted MB 2 piston calipers from the 2005+ sport sedans made by Brembo.

I paid $300 for the front and rear with pads pretty much brand new from a fellow forum member. Let me know if you're interested in getting rear drilled rotors and/or steel brake lines and I can refer you.
