Not that the prices are that bad I just like the challenge.
How does it feel for street driving? Is it a noticeable difference?
I have no track time yet. Hopefully this spring.
I'm still seasoning the rotors and have not bedded the pads yet, it's only been a few days since the install... Give me another week to season the rotors and then replace the pads with Porterfields, then bed the pads and take it to the track... I know where my braking points are on each turn of all the tracks in So. Cal. I'll see if I can dive-in faster and brake later... And post the results...

You won't be able to find a system cheaper unless you rape some parts from a totaled SRT6 or other MB cars that share the same parts... There are 6 MB cars that use the exact front calipers, rotors and adapters as the SRT6... If you purchase the parts from MB, your costs will be 32% higher than purchasing through DC...

And you really don't need to spend the $$$ if you're just driving the car on the street... The OEM brakes are terrific for daily driving...
