I was thinking of changing my lights also. If you dont mind me asking how much did they cost you? and did you put them in yourself?

No question. The Stoptechs have the best balance I have had on a car. I have had several BBKs on past cars and the Stoptechs are without a doubt, one of the best. Just make sure your wheels have the correct clearance to accept the brakes.

I second this one I have the stoptechs on the front and it really makes a difference. Check out Pearlpower's thread on Rotura. He's got 6 piston calipers on the front and a 4 piston setup on the rear.

It's the real LED deal, straight from the 06 models. Do a search for a comprehensive thread on the How To's. They look great in the dark.
