With the OEM STI Brembo front and rear kit, bias is shifted heavily frontwards compared to stock and the caliper isn't all that great. Yes it's a pretty looking 4 wheel kit and OEM, but I would prefer just a better set of front calipers for performance reasons.

It's not bad and it does have some advantages, but for me it's just not an ideal solution.
