I got the calipers (loaded with pads) used for $700 shipped off NASIOC and the rotors from Ebay for $188 shipped. Overall, I am am very happy with the quality and performance. As a former brake product engineer, I did a lot of benchmark testing of various OEM and aftermarket rotors. The sad reality is that the rotor quality from a China rotor to an OEM rotor is not drastic enough for me to justify the extra expense. That said, I don't know much about DRT or where they produce their castings. Their product rivals OEM and Powerslot in quality as far as I'm concerned. I also had to purchase caliper bolts at $4 a piece. So a grand total of $904.

Stopping power change is negletiable in daily commute type driving. Haven't really slammed on them, but the stoppage seems to be more abrupt with the new setup.

Installed 2 small Pioneer subwoofers in the trunk, where there is a space for a spare wheel. Doing that, I didn't lose any space in my trunk as the carpet covers it all and everything is back flat.

I had a light scrap as well from a dip and gravel that I totally forgot about pulling out of a spot. Luckily it's barely anything and on the bottom. I need to put my front lip on to save the paint.

Nice install mackeye, how did you manage the connection between the subwoofers and head unit?

Thanks! ... Ask the dealer who did that !

I'm not handy in these kind of things but I explained what I wanted and he did exactly what I asked for.

Installed my Eibach Sportline springs yesterday. I think I took the after pic at a bad angle, because it doesn't seem much lower than stock. But it's definitely a lot lower in person. Since the wheels are pretty sunken in right now, I ordered some 15mm spacers for the front and 25mm for the rear. I'll post some pictures after they're installed
