Message	Seems like there has been a lot of controversy as to whether this is an improvement or if it's counter-intuitive since the srt8 components add lots of unsprung weight and also because of an increased likelihood of locking up the brakes, causing the tires to skid or engage the abs system - both of which increase stopping distance. What can you comment on about this based on your experience? Also, where did you source the calipers? Were you happy with the price? ________________Sig Separator________________________ Parting out my entire 1990 twin turbo! Please email me for needed parts!
