I have a full set of 2011 STi calipers (F/R). I also have a set of DBA rotors, SS lines, pads and brake fluid.

I want to run these on my DD.

Will these brakes perform better or worse aggregate across all categories that determines brake performance? I understand rear bias... and can't imagine a situation where this would effect me on the street.

Am I going to kill myself with these brakes? Lol ��

Remember I DON'T track. I'm turbocharged at about 320hp.

I just want to know if I'll be okay or should I sell everything... and maybe buy a wilwood kit.

Braking performance is first and foremost determined by your tires. Barring that, I personally would not risk it, but I wouldn't run Wilwoods either.

Honestly, running your stock calipers with just some upgraded pads and fluids are a better idea.
