definitely a difference. only the 13.1" (or 13 even i dont know) rotors, so not the big 14"ers, but definitely an upgrade over stock. Stopping power feels quite similar to the ///AMG brakes on the CLK55. Overall, im happy with the performance and the look, and consider it money well spent.

if one was to purchase Brembos (or whatever) at retail, I'd say the price difference between the 13.1" and 14" is small enough to go with the 14"s. drove a car with 14" Brembos on the front and 12" brembos on the rear, and even with 4-point harnesses i still felt like i was going through the windshield when i hit the brakes.

nope, knock on wood theyve all held up perfectly. the G2 kit is good stuff, ill stand by it.

interior isnt done, ive got all the leather and alcantara pieces in a box but its going to be quite a good bit of work to get installed. dont know when ill be able to get on it, as i go back to school after the holiday and dont come back until summer vacation with baseball and all. unfortunately it may not be until may. not sure though, well see what happens.
