One thing I noticed when I was out on Wednesday. The difference in performance between EXT brakes and regular ones is amplified when the brakes are wet. Also, I heated them up (during some spirited offroad driving) to the point that they stank pretty good, but never experienced fade.
I own too many vehicles now. Let's leave it at that.

After having my beat to hell gouged rotors, the EXT mod is millions times better.

So, Will this upgrade fit a 2003 with 16" stock wheels and spacers? Will I need to grind the caliper?
