Well I expected the van to stop and it does that! Just not as well as I hoped.  I have yet to be in a syncro that can lock up all 4 wheels on dry pavement. I've never been thrilled with any breaking on any van I've owned 2wd or syncro and I figured that this break conversion might just get me what I want, but in reality I think its maybe 10% better over stock.  Now I just did the rotors and calipers all else is stock and original so if I replace thous parts also it might be better but even still I expected more.  The way I see it now if you need a total break over haul than go for the G60 upgrade but if you just need breaks replaced due to normal ware and tare than go with stock stuff and save the money.  I wonder how the other big break kits would compare...??????

Specifically what did you expect that you're not getting?  Also, what
*are* you getting, expected or not?

Thanks,
