    Hey i was hoping to hear from anyone that has this upgrade. It seems like it would be a pretty good one especially since its straight bolt on and you could probably pick up the calipers for 100$. Is it a big improvement or just mediocure since there the rears and don't do much work anyway? Thanks guys!

    I have front 4 piston Brembo brakes and my car would nose plow any time I braked hard with the stock rear brakes.

    My buddy got me rear GXP brakes and it GREATLY improved my braking stability and no more nose plow so totally worth it if you have massive front brakes like I do.

    Well I have fbodys on the front and do get some pretty bad nose dive on heavy breaking but I think my front struts are a little old which is probably cause for some of that.

    Well ya I got basic semi cheap pads in the back and old stock rotors but I'm just curious how much of a difference the gxp upgrade would make since its just so cheap. Plus I'm kind of in love with brakes now. Besides the actual top swap the fbody brakes are by far my most loved mod

    Before I did the fbody brakes I really didn't think there would be that much of a difference and I don't lock my brakes up very often I kind of just did it to get rid of the "mod bug" I had, but after I did it now I find myself slamming on my brakes just because it's fun lol.
