The whole appeal of this kit is that the brackets allow you to use the OEM 5th gen calipers.

Install went very smoothly thanks to the help of Blake (Xlcrew) and my sis's boyfriend Jeremy (who always helps me with my projects) -- just make sure you have the right tool to work with the rear calipers.

Well, I just went out and got on the brakes and all I can say is WOW! The brake pedal still feels a little mushy but once you get on it, the car stops on a dime. The Wagner ThermoQuiets don't make a peep either which is very nice as well.

what would u say is the average life span of these aftermarket quiet pads? i know there are many variables but just wondering besides sound if there's a benefit in longevity vs getting the fully warrantied cheapo's at autozone...

Well, first off, these ThermoQuiets were not cheap (81 dollars for the F/R set) and they come with a lifetime warranty. I would imagine that they probably should last about 24-30k miles with no problem.

hey I have 2k4 brakes also, HAHAHAHAHAH....... no sir..
but, I did install ss lines on my stock set up and lets just say it stops alot better when you press the pedal harder.. it tends to dip the nose of the car down at braking.. also I did a test on how good they stopped the car so I sped up to about 60 and slammed on the brakes and the wheels squeeled to a stop (they didn't lock up but they squeeled on and off to a stop).... you could actually hear the tires try and stop the beast...
I highly recommend the install.....
