I just received my brembos from Sam....will go on this Saturday together with a UMI double adjustable rod ended PHB, and I will also use PBR pads in the front and Hawks in the rear, plus I am using some Earl's lines all the way around. Can't wait to try it out.

I'll paint my calipers black, the bracket silver, and stick some Camaro stickers on the fronts...should look good

I love the way my HP+'s feel and they worked great on some small autox events. However the added dust over my old style pads was about the only downside.

I ordered the same thing, brembo oem blanks, brake fluid etc. I forked out the extra cash for some braided stainless brake lines. I hope they're worth the money. Sam Sr. recommended PBR front pads and Hawk rear pads. We'll see how they work. Tho I am still waiting, 3 and a half weeks laker, for them to show up
