I installed the GW big brakes two years ago, along with stainless steel braided hoses all around. The braking action was amazing. The harder you push down on the pedal the more it slows down. Very progressive, very controllable. GW provided very comprehensive instructions. I highly recommend this product.

They had some issues with the rotors at first but the latest ones have been good for me for 10K mi without a problem. If you feel that stock are kind of sketchy at times then you will probably like them.
