much better braking. AK tested it with me in the car and it took about 1 car parking space to stop the car from 70km/h. now more confident in slamming on the brake when doing aspiring drives.

considering the safety for me and my family as well as the fact that I can install the brakes in my next car (with clamps replaced), the money is well spent.

it's the standard parking space laid by govement la. it's actually ok once you get used to such braking action.
