I like the way those look, hopefully they hold up really well too-price doesn't seem too off base either. Do they have a matching pair for the rear?

Did you replace the disk to hat hardware or just re-use the originals?

And reposition the sway bar (anti roll bar for our US friends ) fixing bracket too, if I'm not mistaken
Also if the brackets are closer to the middle line of the vehicle, it should stiffen even more the sway bar, if I remember some basic physics
