Did you paint the wheels to match the car? It looks the same.

I can't stand it when people go white on white and they don't match.

haha, no, I actually ordered the wheels from Volk with the custom all-white finish (discontinued) and then had the paint of the car matched to the wheels..

thanks for the compliments fellas

I haven't really driven much with them since I just had them installed last night and drove to starbucks, then home. But from the shear looks of it, the rotors are massive and look like they have a much wider contact patch with the pads. Both the caliper and rotor are beefed up and provide a very firm engagement of the brakes. Another nice thing about the kit is that it included a set of Goodrich Stainless Steel lines (which I already have, so I will be selling those with my Project Mu's). The past 3 bbk's I had were fairly similar in performance, except that the project Mu's had slightly beefier rotors; but the AP Racing set should have a noticeable difference in braking performance, I just haven't gotten around to "testing" them out yet.

AP should be your best setup. I went through Endless, Spoon, and Brembo and honestly have to say my Brembos far exceed Spoon and Endless. Its like night and day. That being said your AP should do well.

Cant wait to slap on my TA CE28Ns...
