[QUOTE="papajoewill, post: 16473668, member: 184220"] I installed both the ATS kit and the 43s at the same time a few months back right before I hurt my motor. After the break in, I really noticed the stopping power increase and don’t feel like they fade as much coming down from highway speeds. More responsive and not enough peddle feel change to necessitate mods to the MC in my opinion. Felt just as steady on my peddle and not noticeable as my braking ability wasn’t hindered by it. Never did I “have” to push harder than what I thought necessary to do the job. The only thing is it does look like the rear rotors are wearing slightly more than the front but could be how it’s supposed to work/look? I did a couple hard stops to verify everything was working the way I thought it should but can see the wear pattern on the back but the front not as much? I checked to verify the fronts are braking and fronts were toasty after the tests. They worked forsure but still leaves me to wonder. Maybe someone with both can weigh in or add a photo too? They definitely work well though and I think godstang said it earlier, it feels like the oem cobra brakes were having just a slightly difficult time stopping with the weight and especially with some heat in them. I heard about brake fade but didn’t really understand it until the first few drives. I learned real quick what it after a pull or two. These feel much more reliable in that sense. I have slammed to test and these worked great for me. Much more confident with them and have no problem so far with that as of yet. I did do the stainless lines and flushed the entire system. Once my new motor is done I will proceed with the tests. Like it was mentioned before also, a real buying factor for me and the “ATS/43s” pads and rotors is that they will be around for quite some time to come I’m betting.
