    OK, so I have so far put around 30 miles on these brakes and they perform absolutely amazing. The stopping power is confidence inspiring!
    Multiple high speed stops, 0 fade, in fact the more high speed stops I made the stronger brakes gripped!
    I can now say the stock 8 brakes pale in comparison, simply night and day.

    No, these are much bigger calipers that come on DB9 coupled with 360mm floating rotors.
