Yup, those are the ones. I finished the install today

My hose routing skills aren't the greatest and I ended up with an unnecessary bend. Thinking of curves in your head when you are trying to line up a banjo bolt and hangar bolt with fluid leaking all over the place tends to encourage mistakes. I just followed the path of least resistance and this is what I ended up with, but I could've planned it a bit better, sigh. I should've taken a photo with the wheels off, but I was so glad to be done that I couldn't wait to get the wheels back on



As for feel... they feel a lot like stock o.O. When I pumped them up with the engine off, they got rock solid. However, with the power from the engine and driving around, they are firm, but they don't engage instantly. I'm pretty sure I bled them really well - all the bleed valves spat nothing but crystal clear fluid.

To be fair, this is light to moderate city braking. I still have to feel hard braking when I bed in the pads properly.
