Made an OBVIOUS difference when we put those on. It wasn't like "oh, wow, I saved 10 feet on braking"; it was more like "holy crap, these brakes are incredible" It was an honest notable difference between the drilled and stock rotors. They are drilled and vented by the way. Drilling helps disipate the heat and dust away from the face of the rotor. My rims seem to be able to go longer without getting super dusty since I've added the drilled rotors.
I used to drive Porsches, which have some of the best brakes of any car in the world. My SPG stops better than my Porsche did, and better than other Porsches I've driven.
Just my personal experience. I want as much braking as I can get at 120+!!!
