I don't know why but for whatever reason, I thought you said "rotors" . I was going to say that Akebono rotors haven't impressed me at all. Rotors warped by 30K miles, did horrible at the track etc. But I have been impressed with Stoptech replacement rotors. So my suggestion for HUCK will be the same: get the Akebono kit for cheap. Drive a little bit. Then change the pads and rotors and trust me there are many option out there: from decent replacement rotors that costs $100 to $500 for two piece. Even with Stoptech replacement rotors and stoptech or Hawk pads, your braking performance will be noticeable better.

All other caliper covers I have seen make your calipers look bigger, and thats the stupidest ricer thing I have ever seen. HOWEVER, if it is the same size and adds a little fluff to the brakes, by all means I'm in. Any info on those?
DUDE! I don't even know what to say ...
