So I finally got them on the car. Eric (RotorNut) and I took about 2 hrs to put them on...taking our time to eat some pizza and whatnot in there too.
Pedal effort is minimal for sure. But it's not the kinda of pedal feel like you get on crappy cars where you touch the brakes and eat a steeringwheel sandwich. It's the predictable linear kind and inspires confidence. Unfortunately I found out that the Brembo pads are much less aggressive than I thought..well, compared to the HP+ pads on the rear. Under braking from 90-0mph, I found it easy to lock the rears (also on shitty tires right now). This will probably change when I install the Poterfield RS-4 pads at all four corners. When I do, i'll update with how well they respond to a better pad setup.
Whole car shots will come after I was the car today.

Nah, I already have way too much rear bias when I was runnign the stock brakes and HP+ pads at all four. If I end up with too much rear after I put the R4-S' on, i'll drop the rear pad to something less aggresive.

I've been wanting to do a BBK for a long time. These popped up for a steal of a price (more like epic deal of the century) and I couldn't pass them up.
I also got my new Porterfield pads today...will be putting those on soon.
