really great actually! there is a definate improvment in braking power. not excessive but a definate improvement. then again i havent driven hard. i did hit the brakes hard a couple times to try them out. i will get my pics posted as soon as i get home.

yes they fill the rims up quite nicely. i love the C7 rims so im keeping them. only bad thing now is if i get a flat in the front i have to move a good tire from the rear to the bad front one, then put on my spare in the rear. the look is awesome and worth the extra trouble if it happens <knock on wood>. i abosultely love the look though. when im driving i love looking at the relection in the sides of cars to see the big calipers.

i like them better. they dont skip around like the old ones. just me though. ive read some people say they dont see a difference. it doesnt rain enough in so cal to warrant them, i did it again for asthetics.

DAMN those look great! Cant wait to get mine in, I thought Id have them picked up for me but looks like i ll have to wait for the UPS truck mid next week. Nothing like having wheel wells full of rim and brake.

Make sure the C32 brakes are properly bedded in so that all the gases are purged from the pad and the pad makes a full contact patch with the rotor. Once this is done, your brakes will feel even better.
