I like them I need to get my tires balanced and an alignment to straighten up my front end, but the brakes are great. MUCH better than the stock brakes. The SS brake lines help out too....

Thanks for the update..

I decided to go another route thinking I cold save some $$$. I wound up spending about the same amount as the Stillen kit that Phuong is selling. I got the dimpled/slotted EMC rotors, Porterfield R4S pads, Goodridge SS lines, Motul fluid. I'm going to install everything in 2 weeks. I hope I made the right decision.

Most of the Rota stuff is coming out of the Phillipines. They do a lot of manufacturing for the cheaper BBS stuff. Konig is mostly out of Taiwan. May be the same holding company but they are being manufactured in different places for the most part. My first set of wheels I ever had on my old civic were 15" Rotas! Major bling bling!!
