Did these a couple of weeks ago and couldn't be happier. I am currently on the hunt for the rears to complete the look and the Kooks headers and Corsa catback are on the way. :mrgreen:

Car looks fantastic. :)

Where did you source the Dash V's and how much did they set you back?

Its a shame all V8 G8 didnt come with big brakes like that...

If I end up getting a GT, this will be high on my list of upgrades for sure. ;)

The GXP has the same brakes (Brembos) and in tests the GT stopped the same distance as the GXP, so the GT brakes are more than adequate for street use.

LOL, Kendra, that is definitely on the list as well and will be done soon. Don is right, if you want the budget upgrade, change out the rotors and pads as OEM doesn't do to well with repeated high speed stops. These set me back $300 but they were loaded and brand new. I went though AJUSA.com (cheapest place for DBA rotors) and their customer service was awesome.
