I have the front and rear set up and it’s awesome... improves stopping power and “looks nice” having the 17s filled in over the stockers. I did however hit the inner area the pads don’t touch with high temp black paint so I don’t have a big rust ring where it doesn’t touch the inner area of the rotor from the caliper.

I needed to change my pads at minimum anyway and it was an easier job than a front BBK system. Just don’t be a moron like me and make sure you crack the bleeders before compressing the stock pistons or you will need to get out your laptop and Forscan and do an ABS system bleed. The brakes will drag if fluid gets pushed up into the abs system.

I was under the impression you just need to loosen the cap to the brake fluid reservoir before compressing the pistons.

I would still personally do the forscan abs bleed, but I’d imagine if you crack the bleeders you won’t have fluid pushing back up the line like I did. Regardless, this is a great upgrade. Zero fade, looks great under 17 inch wheels, and noticeably stronger performance.

I don't think that they will either. I am putting on front sway bar poly bushings this week. I can throw the kit on just to see with my slipstreams. Pretty sure rota uses the same wheel dish.
