I've got a set on order from Michael and was really looking forward to some positive feedback prior to their arrival. Looks like I've got it!!

Guys, I am down for giving a hand on the install. I can turn a wrench.
I'll even pitch in for some beer and pizza! Let's make it a party!

And now for the serious part:
Review Day 1, came to work. Well the ride is much stiffer, but not in a bad way. I can feel many more of the road imperfections and get better feedback through the steering wheel, but it's not jarring. There is no squat during acceleration anymore and the body roll is nil in turns. We'll see how the return home is, I can't wait!!!!!!

Almost Scott, need to get used to the new ride (I am more confident in turns) and I would still feel better if I could find some M5 brakes to swap in

Sounds like your next mod......and I thought that the Hawk pads did the trick.

Yeah, but at the same cost as Brembos, not sure I want to spend that much (or that I CAN spend that much and stay married LOL)

I might just post some tonight since PTL and you have requested them LOL, I'll see what I can do.

Oh, the Hawk pads are great but the problem I have is my wheels make the stock brakes look so puny. It would look and perform so much better with a set of beefy brakes filling up the wheels
