I bought the same exact brakes for my 06. Currently I only have the front pads and rotors installed, and I am very happy with them so far! (I've put about 7,000 miles on them).
I'll install the rears soon enough, but right now I still have the OEM's in the rear, 106,000 miles, and they are still going, with pad life left!

I have them on my car, I'm not a big fan.
Watch your fitment when you put them on, I had a TON of metal shavings on my rear wheel, now that rotor seems screwed up too. Also after using them for a while now, I'm starting to feel like they don't stop as well, are noisy in the mornings, and when I have to do a hard brake, I feel like the car is about to lose control

You guys really need to do the F-Body or GXP front upgrade with the GXP rear upgrade. This is the one area of maintenance where the lease expensive option should NOT be used.

any of you guys that have done the rotors on these have an extremely tight fit on the rear? do i need to adjust the rear brakes? ive never owned a car with rear disc. pardon my ignorance. im getting noise the right rear isnt locking when emergency brake is set. noise is only coming from the rear.
