Anyone else running these, how do you find them?
I've had them on mine for some time now and I am really not impressed.
Stopping power feels just too average, they seem to cover in rust way quicker than any brakes I have ever seen before in my life, and they squeal constantly ... even refitted them just incase and they still squeal.
My old BAT kit felt like it had just as good stopping power as these ... I had the Stazi kit on the old car for about 10 days before it got wrecked and they felt immensely more powerful than these. Even OEM's felt like they had a little more bite to them.
On top of that ... after only a day and a half's driving my wheels are totally filthy! Not just a little dirty, but 'filthy' !

Awww tits ... I only went with them as they were the only ones available on the Friday afternoon. I knew I should have waited, but couldn't afford to anymore.

When you die in a rainy crash it would have been worth finding a place that can get them to you.

I can't comment on KVR pads, but I have ran the KVR slotted rotors (procured from SP MOtorsports) and they have worked out just fine with Mintex A/F pads.
The Bendix Titanium's are a good OEM replacement pad.

I have the KVR slotted rotors and carbon pads and have no problems. I have excellent brake feel and no fade ever experienced. No problems in the wet either cold or hot weather.

word to your mother. Mine didn't grip worth a steamy shat until I really warmed them up too. Bendix tit II's are the only way to go. very low dust (I dont notice dust ever until I've been in the rain) and great bite. PM stazi and you wont regret it.
