Dude, with that many holes and slots, I'll bet you have little to no gas trapped inbetween your pads and rotors.

I've gotta get me a set of those.

I do not have the rear Porsche brakes, but they look awesome Roy.

The front Porsche brakes are HEAVY compared to stock LS1.

The cost was approximately 4900 USD installed. The back setup cost a little more because of the separate parking brake used.

I know people keep telling me that as they keep bleeding their systems because they boiled the fluid , or had to pull over because of brake fade trying to catch me.
To me it was worth every cent.
