After my experience with some of the other GKTech stuff I will let someone else be the guinea pig, either way curious how these hold up on heavily beaten track cars.

I didn't get around to updating this because every time I tried, the site was down :|
The installation is pretty straightforward. My first and most helpful tip is to uninstall all 4 ABS sensors from each corner. I didn't do that and damaged some sensors causing ABS warning lights and the car was stuck in limp mode until I went around and replaced all 4 butchered sensors. Removing the axles from the rear hubs was easy because I had my broken axles swapped when my subframe bushings and diff raisers were installed. One thing that you want to beware of is if you keep stock front brakes while using the DBA brake rotor, the hat is slightly larger than stock. You MUST shave the front bracket about 7mm to clear the rotor hat. To avoid this, I got rid of the stock brakes altogether and installed 4 pot calipers off of a TRD model FR-S. The front swap was way easy. I recommend getting the front rotors (DBA42663S-10) from GKTech while they still offer 20% off on the parts. Get the matching rear rotors from Ken at KNSbrakes. I got the blank rear rotors (KNS4651)because I wanted to save 30 bucks or something stupid and now I regret it       Also, a big surprise for me, I made it onto one of the GKtech promo emails.
