Agreed. And the A8 kit looks like it'll be killer. Once I install it, I'll let you know. FYI, regarding what Cincy said, I opted for drilled/slotted for a different reason than heat dissipation. In the rain, my brakes suck serious ***. It feels like the pads are being floated off the rotors. I am hoping the drillings will allow the pads to push the water out the radial rotor vents so that my braking will be up to par. It's only a theory on why it's happening, but nothing else makes sense to explain it, and that should be a sure-fire way to fix the problem. Once they're on and not sitting in my kitchen anymore, I'll let you know.
Hey Devil, I have the same thing. Did slotted/drilled rotors make a difference? This only happens when really wet, and yes feels like they won't bite for the first bit... very unsettling..
I'm make believe

Since this has been bumped, I also like to throw in changing your brake fluid makes a huge difference. Think mine had to be a good 10-15 years old with 120k miles before I flushed the whole system. Car doesn't feel dangerous anymore but still much larger stopping distance than the TT with wilwoods.
