It seems a front & rear set run around $130. From what I've read, these will not improve braking performance significantly (or at all). But, what I want to know is will these make the braking any worse? These on a street application appear to be mostly cosmetic. But, that's seems pretty cheap as long as they don't make the braking any worse. Thanks Henry

Well, they are not as rust proof as they would have had me believe. Otherwise they have been fine '00 CSVT Koni/B&G (New), SCA intake, 18 inch Falken Circuit Spec (gunmetal), CF hood, Headlights by Dan, Mirko, deleted front license plate/painted chrome ring.

I am really happy with the way they look now if I can only find the rears that cheap. 1998.5 CSVT Black/Midnight blue 4895 of 6535 DOB Feb 28, 1998 Kanuberized Nightshade Tails 17 inch RS5s http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2064434/1

If you like cracking rotors and crappy pad life with ZERO improvement in braking, and possible catastrophic brake failure - go for it. Absolutely pointless and a waste of money - only high school kids will think it's cool. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!
