    Yes. I also use them and the rotors on my work E250. With it always fully loaded, constantly cut off in traffic, and me driving, I can vouch its a no questions asked warranty..

    I only tried them on my stuff because I get home delivery and it's convenient. Simply put I expected average and the results far exceeded that, even on old unturned rotors.

    I have the old KVRs on my front as well thus following this thread. The calipers are 2004 Corvette, I'm still trying to find out what the rotors are from - they seem to be possibly from a 2001 Porsche - maybe the SUV.

    Incidentally, I flush system once a year and pads have virtually no wear on them.

    You have a 2 piece rotor IIRC

    So, I might've missed the answer, but who already did a budget big brake kit for 02- cars?

    Only kit i know of is the $3500 stillen kit.

    Your first question did not specify a budget brake kit.

    I have a 93 Town Car I'm building this winter. l'll eventually look into the brakes on that, but that is at the bottom of my priority list.
    Back on track now...

    And what I would love would be a caliper like the Willwoods where you can pull the pads from the top without having to remove the caliper to change pads. I run a lot of Auto Cross events and changing pads is time consuming.

    That's what you get with the TCE big brake upgrade.

    Already answered that. No.
    However, I did not physically bolt up the line and try to position it. I set it in place during a mockup and it didnt look promising.

    As FBM said, the wildwood calipers do that.

    Pretty much all modern fixed caliper brake pads can be serviced without removal of the caliper.
    I eat apples until my stomach feels much more full than its normal.
