Yes...



Pedal travel is a little longer - prolly curable w/ the 929 master cylinder upgrade. Braking is better only cuz of the pad upgrade from stock. However, these should be better for fade resistance. Kit is very high quality; however, it was mentioned that the CP5200 calipers are a street caliper still. And any serious track/race usage should consider upgrading the pistons/seals. I forgot the name of the company, perhaps, WorkS2R remembers.



You'll prolly need to upgrade the rears to get the braking balance proper.



Either case, they are really nice. Your alternative could be the kit Dale Black is offering or the M2 house-brand that could be ordered for all 4 wheels + e-brake option.

I'll tell you what, That car stops faster then any goddamn car I've ever driven. I believe its one of the fastest stopping production cars ever built.



It broke traction at 75 mph when I stomped on the brake pedal.
