    Any one with personal experience using these kits using the PBR calipers?

    I've seen them in person several times, and driven a couple cars with them.

    Unimpressed.

      I had a good 30 mins to look over a kit installed on a car, and wasn't realy impresed either. The calipers look very unfinished, and the fact that you'll have to spend a ton of money on rotors when ever you have to replace them is a draw back.

        Ding ding ding.

        Nothing like cheap as hell off the shelf e36 M3 rotors that are just as big as their "small" and medium kits, and only 15mm smaller then their largest.

        Don't get me wrong, its a decent kit! But for the money? Hell no.

        Rear kit is what really gets me though, redrilled rotors, ebrake barely works, and ugly ass caliper.

          Thanks for the prompt replies. Not sure if I am ready to do the 5 lug swap, but definitely need new brakes.
